Orlando Sentinel Endorsement

District 10, Democrat: Maxwell Frost

There’s only one word to describe the overall vibe around Central Florida’s congressional District 10 race, particularly the Democratic primary. And that word is crazy.

The contest to fill Val Demings’ spot in the U.S. House is a Category Three mess of a race, crowded with old and new faces and laced with pettiness and lust for lost power.

But all that falls away at the calm center of the storm, where a pantheon of local, state and federal Democrats, labor unions, environmental groups and community agencies have gathered around one candidate.

Maxwell Frost is only 25 years old and has never held public office before. But he has held many megaphones, and used them to demand the answers his generation is due. Frost has made himself impossible to ignore, for all the right reasons. Hailed as the first progressive candidate to step forward from Generation Z, he has won the backing of some of this nation’s most revered liberal leaders, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. At the same time, he’s been winning over the weary, wary cynics fighting to defend the core of the Democratic Party against an onslaught of rage-fueled right-wing animosity.

Frost and others like him inspire belief in a future where young people are ready to take up the mantle of defending civil rights and women’s right to bodily autonomy. Ready to insist on communities safe from gun violence and poverty. Ready to demand that this nation reverse its accelerating tumble into devastating global climate change.

We need young leaders like this for the hope that they bring. But Frost offers more than hope: He’s done the work. He displays a solid grasp of the facts defining the challenges he plans to confront, and while his plans sometimes reach too far -- such as a nationwide cap of 3% for rent increases -- he offers more than rhetoric.

In the 10-person field, he’s most notably bookcased between two relics of Florida’s political past: former Rep. Corrine Brown, whose decades-long political career was derailed by a felony fraud conviction, and former Rep. Alan Grayson, whose bluster and braggadocio contrasts poorly to Frost’s calm insistence on justice. There are other, far better choices. State Sen. Randolph Bracy has served Central Florida thoughtfully and well, and would probably be our pick if Frost weren’t in the race. Orlando civil-rights attorney Natalie Jackson is a solid newcomer.

But this is Frost’s time, and he’s ready to stand in the vanguard of his generation.
