A year ago this week, I was officially sworn into the United States Congress.

As a working class, Afro-Latino member of Gen Z, I defied the odds to be elected to an institution that is designed to keep people like me from having a seat at the table.

Now, it’s safe to say that we made it. I’m determined to build on the progress we’ve made for Orlando, for working families, and for my generation – whose future is at stake.

But no one expected me to be here, and I’m constantly facing attacks from GOP leaders and those who hate to see young, working, everyday people having a voice in Congress. If I’m going to keep making real progress in Congress and STAY here, I need our team firing on all cylinders in 2024 – that means I need YOU with me, John.

I ran for Congress because it’s clear that we can’t rely on the same old institutions to fix the same old problems.

That’s why I’ve been fighting for bold change, fighting for transformative legislation on everything from housing to economic justice to gun safety. But if I’m going to keep fighting in Congress through the far right’s continuous attacks, we need to show them that our movement is NOT to be messed with.

And that means proving that our grassroots army is only getting stronger by the day. But the only way we’ll prove that is if we still have dollars coming in the door.

That’s how we got here, and that’s how we’ll stay here, so I need you with me all the way.

It’s time to get to work,

Representative Maxwell Frost
