When 25-year-old Maxwell Frost of Florida took his seat in the U.S House earlier this month, he became the nation’s first Gen Z member of Congress. That — in and of itself — is a major milestone and accomplishment. And what makes it even better is that Frost is a young Black man who won on a great platform focused on ending gun violence, addressing climate change and providing universal health care.
I can’t wait to see what Frost accomplishes in Congress. And I’m equally excited about what other folks in his generational cohort will bring to Congress. There’s just no question that young people who have formed their entire identities in the 21st century will transform government.
