America is in danger. Not only do we have a $39 trillion national debt, but we are adding $1 trillion every 100 days. That means the promises we’ve made as a government to our veterans, seniors, and hardworking Americans—to take care of them—are in jeopardy because we are overspending ourselves into oblivion. The American people have demanded change, and Congressman Bean is answering that call, fighting to restore fiscal responsibility, cut wasteful spending, and ensure the government works for the people, not bureaucrats in Washington.
It is the federal government’s most important obligation to protect the American people and ensure our national security. Years of neglect and mismanagement under the previous administration left our military weakened, underfunded, and underprepared, putting our nation and allies at greater risk. Congressman Bean believes in peace through strength and that a strong, well-equipped military is essential to this strategy. He is working to restore readiness, prioritize troops over politics, and focus resources on true defense priorities rather than bureaucratic programs like DEI initiatives. Congressman Bean worked with his colleagues to deliver a 3.8% pay raise for service members, ensuring our troops are supported while maintaining America’s role as the strongest military power on earth—ready to deter aggression and hold tyrants and terrorists accountable.
Since his first day in office, Congressman Bean has been sounding the alarm on healthcare spending, the second-largest driver of our national debt. He has authored legislation to expand Health Savings Accounts, allow individuals to purchase insurance across state lines, and make healthcare more personal, portable, and affordable. He also hosts the Path to Consensus series, bringing together lawmakers, policy experts, and industry leaders to examine the most challenging questions in healthcare and chart a path toward meaningful reform.
Tax reform is a powerful lever for spurring economic expansion and improving American global competitiveness. That’s why Congressman Bean was proud to help write and pass the Working Families Tax Cut, ensuring hardworking families keep more of what they earn. He believes Northeast Floridians know how to spend their hard-earned dollars better than the government, and he has long fought to keep taxes low, reduce overregulation, and create opportunities for small businesses and American workers. As a member of the Ways & Means Committee, he continues to fight for policies that grow the economy and put Americans first.
Congressman Bean believes parents should have the final say in their children’s education and that students deserve a safe, high-quality learning environment. He has been a leading advocate for school choice in the House, ensuring families have real options. During the 118th Congress, he served as Chairman of the Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee, focusing on improving student outcomes and combating antisemitism. He has also continued to spotlight malign foreign influence, recently introducing the TRACE Act, which exposes Chinese interference in higher education and blocks hostile nations from reaching America’s youth.
As the son of a WWII veteran, Congressman Bean has long championed America’s veterans, believing it is vital to honor and respect their service and sacrifices. For too long, the government has fallen short in meeting its obligations to these exceptional Americans, their families, and survivors. That’s why, throughout his time in office, Congressman Bean has worked tirelessly to improve veterans’ health, welfare, and economic prosperity, ensuring those who defended our nation are never forgotten or left behind.
Individual liberty is the cornerstone of American life, and the government exists to protect—not restrict—our freedoms. For Congressman Bean, protecting individual freedom means holding government accountable, defending citizens from overreach, and ensuring the principles of our founding remain at the heart of American life. He is also a strong advocate for election integrity, having recently introduced and helped pass the SAVE America Act. This bill reinforces safeguards that protect the integrity of our elections and the voice of every citizen.
For too long, improper and fraudulent payments have drained resources and undermined trust in government. The American people deserve responsible stewardship of their tax dollars. That’s why Congressman Bean is waging war on rampant waste, fraud, and abuse, holding fraudsters and bureaucrats accountable to ensure every dollar is spent wisely. As founder and co-chair of the DOGE Caucus, he has introduced legislation targeting government inefficiency, including the Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Spending Act and the We Want Our Money Back Act, designed to recover stolen funds and prevent future fraud. Eliminating waste and abuse isn’t a partisan effort. Members of Congress are continually identifying inefficiencies, strengthening accountability, and advancing reforms to ensure the federal government works for the American people—not against them.
