About

Source: Government Page

The first member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress, Maxwell Alejandro Frost is proud to represent the people of Central Florida (FL-10) in the United States House of Representatives.

As a young Member of Congress and Afro-Latino, Congressman Frost brings a fresh, progressive perspective to an institution formerly out of reach for young, working Black and Latino Americans.

Frost was adopted at birth and raised in the very community he now represents. His mother, a Cuban-American, came to the U.S. during the freedom flights in the late 1960s and became a special needs teacher in Central Florida, inspiring his advocacy for supporting future generations through education. And his father, a full-time musician, taught Congressman Frost his love for music, gifting him his first drum set and igniting his passion for the arts.

As a former organizer, musician, and community activist, Frost was inspired to get to work at 15 years old after the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary claimed the lives of 26 innocent people. From that moment on, Frost dedicated his life to fighting against gun violence and empowering communities across Florida and the U.S. to get behind gun reform, including joining forces with those affected by the Parkland and Pulse shootings to shed light on this epidemic.

In 2016, after years of organizing and advocacy work, Frost himself became a survivor of gun violence after witnessing a shooting in downtown Orlando. The experience only further committed Frost to fight for commonsense solutions to this senseless loss of life through leadership roles at ACLU and eventually March for Our Lives, where he served as National Organizing Director.

Now, as a freshman member, Frost has been appointed to the powerful Committee on Oversight and Accountability, where he will deliver on his mission of ushering justice and transparency to Floridians while fighting against House Republicans extremist attempts to politicize the work of the committee by attacking democracy and promoting ridiculous MAGA conspiracies.

Frost will additionally use his post on the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Congressman Frost, to support Central Florida’s burgeoning status as a simulation tech hub, which employs a strong workforce across major industries in Orlando, such as aerospace, defense, healthcare, and aviation. Congressman Frost will also use his committee post to reaffirm Florida’s status as a central hub for NASA and space exploration.

In Congress, Frost is committed to representing the people of his hometown in Orlando and Central Florida and being their voice in Washington, D.C. Frost is laser-focused on working to deliver change and results on issues of housing affordability, healthcare, abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, transportation, justice reform, climate change and more.

Committees

Committee of Oversight and Accountability

Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, Vice Ranking Member

Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce

Committee on Science, Space, and Technology

In addition to their other responsibilities, Members of Congress are appointed by the Majority and Minority Leaders to serve on House committees. Committees are small groups of Members, both Democrats and Republicans, who hold committee hearings and debate legislation specific to the focus area of that committee.

A committee is usually the first stop for a bill. So, for example, if a bill is focused on space exploration, it will usually first be debated by the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology– because legislation on space falls within that committee’s ‘jurisdiction.’ Then, if a majority of Members of that Committee vote to support the bill, it will go to the House floor, where all Representatives vote.

Although Members can request which committee they serve on, they are not guaranteed a spot. House Leadership will sometimes appoint a Member to a committee because it aligns with their professional expertise or their district’s interest. For example, several House Armed Services Committee members are veterans or represent districts with large military bases. Since committees can dictate which legislation makes it to the floor for a larger vote, there is sometimes intense competition for committee spots; then seniority or more political considerations dictate who House Leadership chooses for those spots.

Congressman Frost serves on the powerful Committee of Oversight and Accountability, the House’s central investigative committee. In April 2023, he was selected as the Vice Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. He also serves on the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce.

Congressman Frost also serves on the important Committee on Science, Space, and Technology which has important jurisdiction on issues critical for Florida like climate change and NASA, and the Subcommittee on Environment.

Caucuses

Unlike Committees, Members can usually join a Caucus without being appointed, and there’s no limit on the number of members. Caucuses generally serve to build voting coalitions.

District

Source: Wikipedia

Maxwell Frost FL-10 1Florida’s 10th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Florida. It was reassigned in 2012, effective January 3, 2013, from the Gulf Coast to inland Central Florida. Before 2017, the district included parts of western Orange County, most of Lake County, as well as a northern section of Polk County. The current district is entirely within Orange County, and covers most of its western portion. It is situated along the Interstate 4 corridor. It includes most of the western half of Orlando. Other cities and towns wholly or partly within the district include Apopka, Belle Isle, Beulah, Eatonville, Harlem Heights, Ocoee, Oak Ridge, Orlo Vista, Winter Garden, and Windermere. In 2020, the district was expanded further north and south to include most of Orlando east of Interstate 4, the Baldwin Park area (redevelopment of the former Naval Training Center Orlando), Orlando Executive Airport, Winter Park, that portion of Maitland within Orange County, the Azaela Park, Goldenrod, Rio Pinar and Alafaya/Waterford Lakes areas, and continuing east to the University of Central Florida, Naval Support Activity Orlando, the Central Florida Research Park, and the Lake Pickett, Bithlo and Wedgefield areas. Even with this expansion, the 10th remains a minority majority district.

It is currently represented by Democrat Maxwell Frost. Due to redistricting after the 2010 census, this district was re-numbered, and slightly reconfigured from the former 8th District. Prior to 2017, it was considered a swing district with a slight Republican tilt. Due to mid-decade redistricting that occurred in 2016, the district became much more compact. It is now considered solidly Democratic.

The former 10th district, during 2003–2012, covered areas further west and encompassed much of Pinellas County, on the Gulf coast of central Florida.

Maxwell Alejandro Frost (born January 17, 1997)[1] is an American politician and activist serving as the U.S. representative for Florida’s 10th congressional district since 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, he was previously the national organizing director for March for Our Lives. Elected at age 25,[2] Frost is the first member of Generation Z to serve in the United States Congress.

Early life

Frost was born on January 17, 1997, to a woman of Lebanese and Argentine descent and a Haitian father.[3][4] His biological mother had several children.[5] He was adopted from birth; his adoptive mother is a special education teacher who migrated to the United States from Cuba in the Freedom Flights, and his adoptive father is a musician from Kansas.[6] He reconnected with his birth mother in June 2021.[6][7] Frost attended Osceola County School for the Arts in Kissimmee, Florida.[8] In high school, he was part of the Technology Student Association. He attended Valencia College but dropped out before his senior year.[6][9]

Early career

Frost has been organizing since around 2012, when he was active with Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.[10][8] He also volunteered with the Newtown Action Alliance, an organization created in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[6] He has identified Occupy Wall Street, the Columbine High School massacre, the killing of Trayvon Martin, and the Orlando nightclub shooting as events that affected his thinking.[11] He later volunteered for Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Margaret Good.[7]

Frost survived an incident of gun violence at a Halloween event in Downtown Orlando in 2016.[6][12]

Frost was an organizer with the American Civil Liberties Union and worked to support Florida’s 2018 Amendment 4 and to pressure Joe Biden to stop supporting the Hyde Amendment in 2019.[6] He was the national organizing director for March for Our Lives.[6][13] In November 2021, Frost was arrested at a voting rights rally in Lafayette Square led by William Barber II and Ben Jealous.[14]

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2022

In August 2021, Frost announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Florida’s 10th congressional district.[15] During the primary campaign, he released a television ad in Spanglish, telling The Hill, “Latinos are in a place where their first language is Spanish but they speak English as well, and quite frankly that’s me … We speak Spanglish in the house, and I know that’s the same for a lot of Latino families in the district.”[16]

Frost beat state Senator Randolph Bracy and former U.S. Representatives Alan Grayson and Corrine Brown, among others, in the August 23, 2022, primary.[17] Due to the district’s Democratic tilt, Frost was expected to win the general election in November 2022,[18] which he did, defeating Republican Calvin Wimbish by a 19% margin, which was smaller than the 32% margin by which Biden won the district in 2020.[19] Frost is the youngest member of Congress and the first member of Generation Z elected to Congress.[13][6][20][21][22] He was endorsed by numerous national and local political figures, including Jesse Jackson, former NAACP President Ben Jealous, civil-rights activist Dolores Huerta, and U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.[23]

Committee assignments

For the 118th Congress:[24]

Caucus memberships

Political positions

Environment

Frost supports a Green New Deal.[6] He has identified environmental justice as a priority of his campaign.[4][7]

Guns

Frost, President Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris arrive to the Rose Garden for an announcement on the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention in September 2023

Frost is a strong advocate for gun control.[4][7]

In January 2023, Frost and Representative Jared Moskowitz sent House Speaker Kevin McCarthy a letter asking him to convene a classified meeting to address mass shootings. The letter called for the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to conduct the meeting.[27]

Healthcare

Frost supports single-payer healthcare and investing in pandemic prevention.[4][6][7]

Criminal justice

Frost wants to “build toward a future without prison”.[6] He supports the decriminalization of sex work and the decriminalization of cannabis use.[7][28]

Iran

Frost believes that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) “certainly fell short in ways, but it blocked Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon, which was an important success”.[29] In 2022 he supported restoration of the JCPOA but stressed “we must make it longer, stronger, and broader to cover not just the issue of nuclear weapons, but also the full range of destabilizing and threatening actions Iran engages in, like Iran’s ballistic missile program and the country’s support for terrorist proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas.”[29]

Israel

Frost supports a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and has indicated his intent to travel to Israel to promote “US leadership in bringing peace to a region that so desperately needs and deserves it”.[30][31] He has called himself pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian.[30][31][32] He supports unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel.[30][31][33] He has criticized the Palestinian Authority’s martyr’s fund that compensates the families of dead and wounded militants, likening it to a recruitment tactic of Hamas for the purpose of committing politically motivated violence against Israel.[30][33] Frost vehemently opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, accuses it of harboring leadership from terrorist organizations, and suggests that businesses that participate in BDS should in turn be divested.[30][31][33]

Frost had formerly participated in pro-Palestine activism, signing pledges with the Florida Palestine Network (FPN) and the Palestinian Feminist Pledge, calling for support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, ending military aid to Israel, and rejecting the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism.[34] In early August 2022, the Jewish news website Jewish Insider published a candidate questionnaire from Frost’s congressional campaign that showed a shift in Frost’s foreign policy positions on Israel and Palestine.[33] Jewish Insider characterized his responses as a reversal that distanced himself from his past while declaring an aggressive stance against the BDS movement, calling for unconditional military aid to Israel, and stating his opposition to anti-Zionism.[31] His campaign later released a position paper that formalized these positions.[30][33]

Frost voted to provide Israel with support following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.[35][36]

Crypto regulation

During his campaign, Frost announced a “crypto-advisory council” that would advise him during his campaign.[37] He received $8,700 in contributions from Sam Bankman-Fried and his brother and nearly $1 million in help from the Super-PAC Protect Our Future, almost all of it after announcing the council.[38]

Immigration

Frost is against building a southern border wall.[39] During a January 2024 House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on immigration Frost proposed removing the Statue of Liberty in response to Republican bill H.R. 2 Secure the Border Act.[40][41]

Personal life

Frost speaks Spanish and English.[16] He is a jazz drummer and plays the timbales.[8][13] His nine-member high school band Seguro Que Sí (from Spanish ’of course’) performed in the parade during Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.[8][42]

Frost is a Baptist.[43]

In December 2022, Frost said he was denied a rental apartment in Washington, D.C., due to a “really bad” credit history. He said his credit rating was bad because he “ran up a lot of debt running for Congress for a year and a half”.[44]

Frost was among a handful of Democrats who received about $1 million in support from former billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried‘s Protect Our Future PAC, as well as the maximum individual donation of $2,900.[45] In December 2022, the U.S. government indicted Bankman-Fried after alleging that he gave investor money to progressive political candidates, among other fraudulent crimes.[46] After the announcement of charges against Bankman-Fried, Frost donated the individual donation to the Zebra Coalition, an LGBTQ charity.[47]
