Bean Recognized for Championing Seniors’ Rights

WASHINGTON—The 60 Plus American Association of Senior Citizens, a leading national advocate for older Americans, honored U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) with the prestigious Guardian of Seniors' Rights Award in recognition of his steadfast commitment to protecting the rights and well-being of senior citizens in Northeast Florida and across the nation. 

“I'm honored to receive the Guardian of Seniors' Rights Award. In Washington, I’m working every day to ensure our incredible Northeast Florida seniors receive the care, support, and respect they’ve earned," said Congressman Bean. "That means defending Medicare and Social Security, strengthening retirement security, and fighting for policies that protect seniors’ dignity and peace of mind. They’ve given so much to the Free State of Florida—and I owe it to them to deliver."

BACKGROUND

The Guardian of Seniors’ Rights Award celebrates lawmakers who champion policies that safeguard Social Security and Medicare, fight inflation, reduce the tax burden on seniors, and expand access to quality health care and retirement security.

As part of his continued advocacy, Congressman Bean proudly voted to advance a $6,000 tax deduction included in the One Big Beautiful Bill, aimed at improving the financial stability for older Americans. This provision represents a key step in helping seniors keep more of their hard-earned money and live with dignity in their retirement years.

Congressman Bean was presented the award during a ceremony in Washington, D.C., by 60 Plus Founder and Chairman Jim Martin and President Saul Anuzis.
