Work with the Department of Government Efficiency to rein in reckless federal spending and stop abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Occurrences
Evidence
Business Insider reported that Aaron Bean was a House DOGE Caucus co-chair and quoted him saying the caucus would work closely with DOGE to rein in reckless spending and stop abuse of taxpayer dollars.
AP reported Musk and Ramaswamy met with lawmakers about DOGE; Rep. Aaron Bean, who launched the House DOGE caucus with Pete Sessions, said, "everything has to be looked at."
The executive order established DOGE to implement the President's DOGE Agenda by modernizing federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity; it created USDS/DOGE teams across agencies.
The House Clerk recorded H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act, passing 214-212 on June 12, 2025; Rep. Bean (FL) voted Yea.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 4 as Public Law No. 119-28 and summarizes that it rescinds $9.4 billion in unobligated funds for State, USAID, related agencies, and public broadcasting.
The report says Sen. Joni Ernst and Rep. Aaron Bean introduced the Delivering On Government Efficiency in Spending Act to codify Treasury payment-description requirements and reduce improper payments.
DOGE.gov reported estimated savings of $215 billion from asset sales, contract and lease cancellations, fraud and improper-payment deletion, grant cancellations, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions.
Politico reported Rep. Jared Moskowitz said the DOGE Caucus had not met in months and was not involved in DOGE decisions; Bean said the caucus remained active and was just getting started.
Assessments
Bean took concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise: he helped launch and co-chaired the House DOGE Caucus, participated in DOGE-related congressional activity, introduced or backed legislation aimed at improper-payment controls, and voted for H.R. 4, a rescissions bill that became Public Law 119-28 and reduced specified unobligated federal spending. However, the evidence does not show that Bean personally delivered a comprehensive DOGE partnership or broadly stopped taxpayer-dollar abuse; DOGE savings are self-reported and not attributable to Bean, and reporting suggested the caucus had limited involvement in DOGE decisions. This supports partial fulfillment with serious effort, not full delivery.
