Frost, Maxwell

Maxwell Frost represents Florida's 10th congressional district and serves as ranking member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs. In this minority party role, he leads Democratic opposition on the subcommittee, which oversees federal transportation policy, energy regulation, and economic development initiatives. As ranking member, Frost shapes the committee's Democratic strategy, questions witnesses during hearings, and advances alternative legislation on these critical infrastructure and regulatory matters.

Frost's background as a longtime activist and organizer directly informs his committee work. Since 2012, he has been engaged in grassroots organizing, including work on voting rights, gun violence prevention, and fair housing. He served as national organizing director for March for Our Lives, the youth-led gun safety advocacy organization, and has worked with the ACLU on civil rights issues. He survived a shooting incident in Orlando in 2016, giving him personal experience with gun violence. At age 25, he became the youngest member of Congress and the first Generation Z representative, bringing a generational perspective to legislative debates.

Frost's legislative priorities reflect his activist background. He has sponsored 40 bills addressing housing, education, transportation, and gun violence prevention, including the Prevent Illegal Gun Resales Act. His work on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee positions him to influence federal spending on highways, transit, and rail systems. As ranking member of the Economic Growth and Energy Policy Subcommittee, he participates in shaping regulatory policy and energy initiatives, areas where younger lawmakers increasingly push for climate and sustainability considerations alongside traditional infrastructure concerns.
