John – Maxwell Frost wasn’t planning to run for Congress.

When his colleagues first encouraged him to run for office, he said no. It wasn’t until he spoke with hundreds of people in his community who repeatedly encouraged him to go for it that he finally said yes.

Now he’s on his way to D.C. as the youngest member of the House of Representatives ever elected, and the first member of Gen Z to serve in Congress.

Running for office is a big decision, and it takes a lot of courage. Our system is not designed to make it easy for working people to campaign and keep a roof over their heads.

Brand New Congress is committed to supporting working class progressives and helping them build winning campaigns. This is year-round work, and requires a dedicated team. Can you pitch in $25 today as we ramp up our recruitment plans for 2024?

BNC candidates are regular working people, organizers and activists. Most weren’t planning to run for Congress; they had to be convinced by their community, their colleagues, or by partner organizations like Brand New Congress.

Most continue working full time jobs while running their campaigns, which comes with many challenges.

Brand New Congress stands by our candidates through thick and thin, because we’re building for long-term political change.

Just as candidates depend on partners like BNC, we depend on partners like you to make this work. Can we count on you for a contribution today?

In solidarity,

Brand New Congress
