Aaron Bean (born January 25, 1967) is a Republican member of the Florida State Senate, representing the 4th District, which includes all of Nassau County and parts of Duval County, since 2012. He previous served in the Florida House of Representatives, representing the 12th District from 2000 to 2008.
Bean was born in Fernandina Beach and attended Jacksonville University, where he graduated with a degree in finance in 1989, and became a banker. From 1996 to 1999, he served as a Fernandina Beach City Commissioner and was elected by the City Commission to serve as Mayor-Commissioner.
In 2000, when long-serving incumbent State Representative George Crady, a Democrat, did not seek re-election, Bean ran to succeed him in the 12th District, which included parts of Baker County, Bradford County, Duval County, Nassau County, and Union County. In the general election, Bean defeated Bobby Hart, the Democratic nominee, receiving 58% of the vote. Running for re-election in 2002, he faced Joseph Ballard, the Libertarian nominee, whom he easily defeated, receiving 84% of the vote. Bean was re-elected without opposition in 2004 and 2006, and in 2008, could not seek a fifth term due to term limits and was succeeded in the legislature by fellow Republican Janet H. Adkins.
