Our caucus mourns the loss of our beloved member, Rep. Harry Bean.

Rep. Bean faithfully served the people of NH. He was an advocate for veterans, balanced budgets, and a champion arm wrestler.

We will miss him dearly and thank him and his family for his service to our state.

House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn), Deputy Majority Floor Leader Juliet Harvey-Bolia (R-Tilton), and Representative Steven Bogert (R-Laconia) released the following statement, eulogizing State Representative Harry Bean, who passed away in the morning of February 14th, 2026.

“State Representative Harry H. Bean III has been a stalwart of Belknap County. First elected in 2018, Representative Bean served the New Hampshire House and the people of our state for eight years. I pass my condolences to his wife Priscilla, three children, eight grandchildren, five great grandchildren, friends, the Belknap Delegation, and all House colleagues,” Majority Leader Osborne said.

“The Bean family has called Gilford home since 1842,” Osborne continued. “A true Granite Stater, Representative Bean cared deeply for our Veterans. Representative Bean always put his constituents in Gilford, Gilmanton and Laconia first, and I will always remember attending his Bean Family Barbequeues during the summer. I once again send my condolences to his entire family, and all of his House Colleagues.”

Deputy Majority Floor Leader Juliet Harvey-Bolia said, “Harry was the embodiment of a true public servant. With care and dedication, he cultivated an atmosphere of harmony within our county delegation. I had the pleasure to serve with him for the past six years. Harry always fought on behalf of Belknap County. When I think of Harry, I will remember his commitment to fairness. Harry listened to everybody, even when he disagreed with them. Under his leadership, Belknap County and the state of New Hampshire have become a better place. He will be sorely missed, but lovingly remembered.”

Representative Steven Bogert added, “Harry has been a dear friend for over 20 years. As Chairman of the Belknap County Delegation, Harry’s guidance has helped reshape Belknap County. Over the years, his leadership has driven our county to be better and better. A champion arm wrestler who used his platform to raise tens of thousands of dollars for charity, Harry was truly a philanthropist and a man of the people. I too, pass my condolences to Priscilla, his family and friends. As a friend of Harry, and fellow Representative I will miss him dearly.”
