John, no one expected someone like me to be elected to Congress. But against all odds, I’m here – and it’s important you understand how I got here.

This email is long, so if you don’t have a spare minute to read this all the way through, please consider chipping in a few bucks before my End of Quarter fundraising deadline at midnight – so I can keep fighting for all of us in Congress. >>

My biological mother was a victim of our broken system. She turned to drugs and crime while she was pregnant with me, and made the difficult decision to put me up for adoption at birth.

I was raised in a working-class family. My mom was a public school teacher, and my dad was a working musician. They struggled through more broken systems – from underfunded schools, to outrageous healthcare costs, to juggling different jobs to pay the bills.

Even when I grew up and ran for Congress, I was a Gen Z working class kid – I didn’t have the same advantages that other candidates have. I drove for Uber and racked up credit card debt just to make ends meet during my campaign. Because of that, everyone counted me out.

But I was able to defy the odds: by becoming a community leader, the National Organizing Director for March for our Lives, and the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress.

Now, I need you to help me defy the odds once again to stay in Congress. I’m determined to keep fighting for working-class folks, but I can’t do that without your grassroots support.

Thanks for hearing me out,

Maxwell Frost
