Florida and the Country was awakened to a new champion, and the youngest candidate for Congress in decades. Maxwell Frost won his Democratic Primary race for the Democratic nomination in the 10th Congressional District. One of 10 candidates looking to represent the Orlando area in a seat formally held by Val Demings, who is now the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate against Marco Rubio. His primary victory is a strong Democratic District will most likely mean that in November he will become the first member of the Generation Z to be elected to Congress as a 25 year old.
His election is also a victory for Progressives nationwide who endorsed his campaign, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. He was also endorsed by the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, Progressive Democrats of America and the Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida.
His platform include Medicare for All, commitment to a Green New Deal, and support of real legislation on gun control. His support across the the country and here in Florida begins the journey of not only a young leader but one committed to the future. His election in November will be the dawn of a new era in American politics and be a strong light in a growing red storm.
