'Don't count us out': Maxwell Frost could be the 1st Gen Z member of Congress

At 25 years old, Maxwell Alejandro Frost is hoping to make history as the first Generation Z member of Congress and represent Florida’s 10th Congressional District in the House.

After winning the Democratic primary on Aug. 23, Frost is running against Republican Calvin Wimbish, and the winner will succeed Rep. Val Demings, who’s vying for a Senate seat. According to FiveThirtyEight’s election simulation model, it’s “very likely” that Frost will win in November.

“My mom came here from Cuba when she was young with nothing. And now her son is going to go to Congress,” Frost told Yahoo News.

Running for Congress was not at the top of the Orlando native’s career aspirations until supporters asked him to get on the ballot. “I was actually asked to run by organizers that I protested with during the Black Lives Matter uprising [after the death of George Floyd in 2020].”

And then don’t provide a living wage for childcare work.

Going to be lots of women getting surgically sterilized and probably many men as well. Or will old Clarence try to make that illegal, too?

Kickin’ with disgust.

His election to the House will be so wonderful. We need more twenty somethings in Congress.
