John, I’m an organizer at heart, so I’m not used to talking about myself when I could be talking about the work at hand. But I want to take a minute and reintroduce myself.

I’m Maxwell Alejandro Frost – and damn proud to be.

You may have heard about me on the news as the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress.

But before that, I was houseless and driving Ubers to pay the bills while I ran to represent my people.

Before that, I was organizing with March for Our Lives, because kids can’t keep dying from gun violence while NRA lobbyists get rich.

And before that? I was just an Afro-Latino kid from Florida, whose biological mother couldn’t afford to see a doctor even once while she was pregnant with me. Our systems failed her.

Now, I’m in a position to change those systems. To legislate for justice. To build the world we deserve. I’ll never forget the people who believed in me before I “made it,” and helped me get here.

But that just makes it all the more clear how urgently I need to stay here. And winning my re-election campaign depends on your grassroots support.

My next major deadline is at midnight tonight, and I’m still coming up $3000 short of my goal. Please, if you can, will you donate a few bucks right now to make sure someone like me doesn’t lose his seat to the same old failed leadership we’ve always had? >>

Thanks for believing in what we're building together.
