The Committee exercises jurisdiction over taxes, trade, health care, Social Security, and welfare.\n\n\u201cIt 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\u2019s go get\u2019em,\u201d said Congressman Bean.\n\n\u201cI want to extend a warm welcome to Representative Aaron Bean to the Ways and Means Committee. The next two years are pivotal for America\u2019s economy as we extend the Trump tax cuts and enact President Trump\u2019s pro-worker, pro-growth agenda. Rep. Bean\u2019s 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,\u201d said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bean.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-bean-join-influential-house-ways-and-means-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.489310059696436, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
