READ TIME: 2 MINUTES

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, the first Gen Zer re-elected to Congress, and still the only Gen Zer in 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 an Afro-Latino kid from Florida, raised in a working-class family.

Now, I’m making real change for young and working class folks. 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 – especially given who's wreaking havoc in Washington.

Thanks for believing in what we’re building together.
