Favorite Quote:

Upon Bean's filing for this seat in 2007, late Senator Jim King commented, "I have known Aaron Bean since he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in November, 2000 and watched him become an incredibly strong presence in our northeast Florida Delegation. His service to his district and his performance in the State Legislature have been defined by his passion and commitment to important issues. If his campaign for this Senate seat is successful, his constituents can be confident that he will represent them with that same trademark enthusiasm and fervor."
