Farmer & Leader
Experience
Senator Jason Bean is a proven leader. In 2020, he carried the values learned on his family farm to the Missouri Senate, working to protect the rights and interests of all Missourians from government overreach and special interests. Recognized by his fellow senators from around the state for his work ethic, conservative values, and integrity, he serves in Senate leadership, representing Southeast Missouri and the Bootheel.
About Jason
As a fifth-generation Missourian raised on his family farm in the Bootheel, Jason learned the values of hard work, common sense, helping your neighbor, and trusting in God. Every planting season presented a new opportunity to do things better and to reach farther. These core values still define Jason today.
Jason loves the outdoors and is an avid fisherman, hunter, and lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. He grew up attending Peach Orchard Baptist Church (built by his grandfather), and now
attends Holcomb United Methodist Church. Jason currently lives on the same farm where he grew up,
and is raising three beautiful children: Colin, Claire, and Otto.
Get Involved
As a father, Jason knows that every life is precious, and believes in protecting the values that made America great with commonsense solutions from the American heartland. It is more important than ever to defend our rural way of life and to preserve our freedoms. He works every day to ensure the next generation has more opportunity than the previous.
