U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean from Florida's 4th district has been appointed to the House Ways and Means Committee for the 119th Congress. This committee is recognized as the oldest in the United States Congress and holds significant influence as it is responsible for tax legislation in the House of Representatives. Its jurisdiction extends over taxes, trade, health care, Social Security, and welfare.

Congressman Bean expressed his enthusiasm about joining the committee: “It is a tremendous honor to serve on the Ways and Means Committee. With a $36 trillion debt, historically high inflation, and the largest pending tax increase in history, this is a critical time for our nation. I am eager to work with Chairman Smith and the Committee to advance a bold agenda that supports working families, lowers taxes, and accelerates our economy. Let’s go get’em.”

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith welcomed Congressman Bean to his new role: “I want to extend a warm welcome to Representative Aaron Bean to the Ways and Means Committee. The next two years are pivotal for America’s economy as we extend the Trump tax cuts and enact President Trump’s pro-worker, pro-growth agenda. Rep. Bean’s background as a successful Florida small business owner will help us craft the right policies that set up small businesses across the country to thrive. In the 119th Congress, Ways and Means Republicans will work to swiftly help families who have been hurt by the last four years of inflation and uncertainty.”
