Get to know Rep. Maxwell Frost 🎙️
Get to know Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) in a new episode of Capitol Spotlight, a video and audio podcast from CNCT.
At 28 years old, Rep. Maxwell Frost is the first Gen Z Member of Congress. His district encompasses the Central Florida area, including Downtown Orlando, University of Central Florida, Universal Studios, and some main street districts - making it a buzzing place to be!
Many of us pass through this area - especially for the theme parks - but this is where Rep. Frost grew up, attended arts school, and discovered his love for music. The Congressman credits musical interests and talents to his father, who works as a full-time musician to this day. Aside from music, Rep. Frost is a foodie, a former barista, and a budding football fan.
