The district has a 10.7% poverty rate, 10.1% uninsured rate, and 27.1% bachelor's degree attainment. Homeownership is 67.4% and the median home value is $285,600.

Voted yea on H.R. 3838 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (NDAA)) on 2025-09-11: Supported the NDAA consistent with his district's large military presence (NAS Jacksonville, approx. 22,000 personnel). Aligned with district economic interests but the AFL-CIO opposed the rule version for failing to restore DoD civilian collective bargaining rights.

primary · 2025-09-11 ✓ Verified

Voted yea on H.J.Res. 45 (Disapproval of Student Loan Forgiveness Rule) on 2023-05-24: Voted to block student loan forgiveness, against the interests of younger constituents in his district where 27.1% hold bachelor's degrees (below national average) and economic mobility is tied to education access.

In-person constituent town halls

1209d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As the elected representative for FL-04 since January 2023, Bean would be expected to hold periodic in-person town halls where constituents can ask unscripted questions, a longstanding congressional norm. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Bean has refused to hold any public in-person town halls. He dismissed calls for them by stating, 'Only people who have never supported me want me to do a town hall' and branded community-organized events as 'fake town halls' and 'Democrat attack rallies.' In early 2025, he recorded a video telling constituents, 'Don't believe any of the hype,' while his office claimed he holds 'real town halls that we do every month' — referring to invitation-only visits to schools and businesses, not public forums. During this window Bean remained highly active in press releases, official house.gov communications, and on-the-record statements on issues including the DOGE Caucus, tax policy, Homeland Security funding, veterans affairs, and NDAA votes.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

Component	Weight	Signal
Contradiction Risk	30%	Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence	20%	Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density	20%	Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk	15%	Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume	15%	Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation	0%	Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment	0%	Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
