Bean, who succeeded John Rutherford in his congressional role, has previously served in both the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate. Born in Fernandina Beach, Florida, in 1967, he continues to reside there.

On March 11, 2025, Aaron Bean expressed concerns over financial misconduct through unemployment insurance programs. In a tweet posted that day, he stated: "$135 BILLION! That’s how much was STOLEN from the American people in unemployment insurance programs." He further addressed those responsible for these acts by stating that the American people demand restitution and mentioned that the House GOP is actively pursuing recovery efforts.

The following day on March 12, Bean took to Twitter again to address misinformation about his whereabouts and activities. He clarified his position with a post saying: "FACT CHECK: I’m in Washington—RIGHT NOW—working for YOU!" He emphasized his commitment to providing accurate information amidst circulating falsehoods.

Later on March 12, Bean addressed rumors concerning potential cuts to significant government programs. In another tweet he asserted: "Fearmongering and spreading lies cannot change reality." He assured constituents that Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security would not face cuts but indicated an intention to tackle unnecessary government expenditures.
