Biography

Maxwell Alejandro Frost is the Democratic U.S. Representative for Florida's 10th Congressional District, first elected in 2022 as the first member of Congress from Generation Z, according to his congressional website. Before Congress he worked as a campaign staffer and as an organizer for the ACLU and March For Our Lives. He has focused his legislative work on gun-violence prevention and housing costs; the district's 2026 general election was canceled, so he won re-election without appearing on the ballot.[1][2]

Frost was born in Orlando, Florida, in 1997, and according to his congressional website he was adopted at birth.[1][2] As a teenager he led the salsa band Seguro Que Sí at the Osceola County School for the Arts, which performed at President Obama's second inauguration parade, and he later attended Valencia College.[2][1]

According to his congressional website, Frost was inspired to work on gun-violence prevention after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, and he began working on Florida campaigns, including on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign staff and the advance team for Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign.[2][1] He worked as a rideshare driver and as a national organizing specialist with the ACLU, where his website says he organized for Florida's Amendment 4 restoring voting rights to people with felony convictions.[1][2] He later served as national organizing director of March For Our Lives, a youth-led gun-violence prevention organization.[1][2]

Frost won the 2022 Democratic primary and general election for Florida's 10th District, an open seat previously held by Val Demings, and took office in January 2023 as the first Gen Z member of Congress, according to his website.[1][2] He was re-elected in 2024 with 62.4% of the vote.[1] In the 119th Congress (2025-2026), he is assigned to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, including its Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs and Government Operations subcommittees, and to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.[1]

Frost's first bill, introduced in March 2023 with Sen. Chris Murphy, was the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act, and his website says President Biden announced a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention in September 2023.[2] He has also introduced the End Junk Fees for Renters Act.[2]
