His family’s story begins in Cuba with his grandmother Yeya. She and Maxwell’s mother came to Florida during the Freedom Flights in the early 1960s. They had one suitcase between them and no money.
Yeya worked 70 hours a week (and often more) in Miami factories where she was constantly exploited and subjected to unsafe working conditions to provide for her family.

Having direct experience with police abuse and gun violence, Maxwell was first called to action to fight for gun reform at the age of 15 following the Sandy Hook massacre.
He later served as the Organizing Director for March for Our Lives, where he led an ambitious youth voter program that drove record turnout in the 2020 election.
In 2018, he also helped lead the Florida ACLU’s fight to win back voting rights for over 1.6 million Floridians with previous felony convictions.
In January 2021, a group of his fellow organizers asked Maxwell to run for Congress. He said no. Then, in the weeks that followed he had conversations with over 200 members of his community and everyone overwhelmingly encouraged him to run.
But his decision was cemented when he met his biological parents. Maxwell’s biological mother was a victim of systemic, institutional failures that trapped her in a cycle of drugs, crime, violence, and poverty. As a mother of seven, she made the difficult decision to put him up for adoption because she lacked the resources to care for and raise another child.
Seeing the way his biological mother was marginalized as a woman of color, and knowing how many of those decisions begin at the federal level – Maxwell answered the call of his community and decided to run.
When he wins in November and takes office next year, Maxwell will be the youngest person of color and the first member of Gen Z to serve in Congress.

Maxwell understands the way that working people and people of color are unjustly marginalized and left behind by our society – and that's who he's running for.
Brand New Congress is so proud to partner with Maxwell and bring bold, progressive representation to central Florida. Will you pitch in now and split a contribution between Maxwell’s historic campaign and BNC? [[link removed]]
Welcome to the slate, Maxwell!

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal and electing bold progressive fighters. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020. With seven BNC Reps currently in office [[link removed]] , we are growing progressive power in Congress.
This November we’re working to flip multiple red seats, fill open seats with bold progressives, and elect our first BNC Senator by defeating Rand Paul.
Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
