Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) announced on Thursday his candidacy for co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC). If elected, the 27-year-old would become the first Generation Z congressional leader from either major party.
In a letter shared with Axios, Frost emphasized his recent experiences and his commitment to shaping the Democratic Party’s future.
“I’ve traveled the nation over the past several months, primarily connecting with young and working-class Americans,” Frost wrote. “I’ve heard clearly that there is a hunger for leaders who will forcefully stand for an economy and country that directly benefits them and their communities.”
During the campaign season, Frost worked to rally younger voters by promoting the Democratic ticket alongside Vice President Harris, hosting events and tours on college campuses.
