Maxwell Frost won't take his seat in the House until January, but the 25-year-old from Florida already has his first congressional assignment: turning out young voters in Georgia to keep Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in office.Frost, soon to be the youngest member of Congress and the first from Generation Z, will rally HBCU students in Atlanta this weekend — capitalizing on the urgency organizers say is needed to turn out young people for the Dec. 6 Senate runoff.
Frost said he's been pleasantly surprised by the support he's received from Democratic Party leaders: "As a young organizer, a progressive of color, there’s a lot of spaces I walk into and I’m not usually welcome there." Unlike in 2018, when party elders were reluctant to uplift freshmen activists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Frost is entering Congress at a moment when progressives are a growing — and powerful — coalition within the Democratic caucus.
"The people who came before us worked hard and have been good members of the caucus and have shown that having an organizer in the halls of Congress is not a bad thing — it’s a damn good thing," he said. "It helps get our base excited."Voters under 30 were essential to blunting the Republican "red wave" this cycle.
