Secure America Act"
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Bean voted Aye on final House passage of S.2, the enacted Secure America Act, showing concrete legislative participation but not leadership.
Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial.same_termA for effort
Bean took concrete same-term action by voting for H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, a major House-passed border-security bill. However, the bill did not become law in the 118th Congress, and Bean was not the sponsor or a cosponsor, so the record does not show that he led the effort. He later voted for the enacted Laken Riley Act in 2025, but that law was narrower immigration-enforcement legislation and likewise was not led by Bean. Overall, he supported border-security measures but did not fully deliver the promise to lead an effort that secured the border.
