Hastings (D-FL) made the following statement on the passing of former Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson: Burt Aaronson served the people of Palm Beach County for two decades, distinguishing himself as an independent thinker who did what was right for the people he represented. It was with great sadness that I learned of his passing. Burt always put the people of Palm Beach County first. He expanded public safety facilities and parks, and established attractions like the Palm Beach International Film Festival. He was known as person willing to work with anyone who could help make our community better, and will undoubtedly be remembered for his larger-than-life character, his unwavering commitment to his family, and his devout commitment to Palm Beach County. I offer my deepest sympathies to Burt's wife, Sheila, his two children, Rick and Dan, and his five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren during this very sad time. Congressman Alcee L. Hastings serves as Senior Member of the House Rules Committee, Ranking Democratic Member of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, and Democratic Chairman of the Florida Delegation. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
