Maxwell Frost — Democrat Candidate for U.S. House in Florida, 2026

Maxwell Frost opposes mass deportation and the expansion of ICE detention facilities, stating such facilities increase community fear and tear families apart. He introduced the Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment (SUDEM) Act to mandate transparency and accountability from ICE detention centers, aiming to protect due process rights for all individuals. He also advocates for congressional funding deals to include protections for protestors against surveillance by immigration agents, citing personal experience as the child of a refugee.

“I’m concerned about mass deportation. I live in a community full of undocumented immigrants. My mom came in as a refugee from Cuba, so this is personal for me. And I’m going to stand ten toes down. People are getting the wrong message from this election. If you look at the numbers, yes, people are concerned with the border and immigration, but most people do not agree with what Donald Trump is proposing. Even people who voted for him. I am not going to allow myself to be pulled in that direction, and House Democrats shouldn’t either. — Representative Maxwell Frost, frost.house.gov”

Maxwell Frost opposes policies that increase healthcare premiums, stating that families should be able to afford the care they need. He voted against a resolution to rescind Title IX protections, aligning with reproductive freedom. He also co-sponsored bills like the "Stop Unfair Medicaid Recoveries Act," the "Improving Social Determinants of Health Act of 2024," and the "Jeanette Acosta Invest in Women’s Health Act of 2024."

““I am a NO on any vote that raises premiums for nearly one in four people in my district. I believe that in the richest country on the face of the Earth, families deserve to get the care they need when they need it—and I will fight like hell to make that a reality.” — Congressman Maxwell Frost, Statement on Senate Passage of Funding Deal”

Maxwell Frost advocates for climate action, viewing the climate crisis as the most significant challenge. He introduced the Youth Climate Leadership Act to establish the National Environmental Youth Advisory Council (NEYAC) at the EPA, aiming to center young people in climate policy. He co-sponsored H.Con.Res.37 and H.Con.Res.56, which call for a national, science-based climate recovery plan to transition to green technologies and jobs, and address disproportionate impacts on children.

““By creating the Youth Advisory Council at the EPA, we ensured that for the first time ever, young people would be centered and heard in our fight to tackle the climate crisis. This is about leaving the planet a better place than we found it, for our present and for our future,” said Congressman Maxwell Frost. (Source: frost.house.gov)”

Maxwell Frost supports abortion rights and has consistently voted against measures that would restrict access to abortion services. He opposed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, a resolution to reverse Title IX protections against sex-based discrimination, and H.R.6918, which aimed to fund anti-abortion centers. His voting record aligns with advocating for reproductive freedom.

““They say they’re pro-life because they want the baby to be born, go to school, and get shot in the school,” said Frost, adding, “die in the school, die on the streets.” - Maxwell Frost, during a House Rules Committee hearing (as reported by Yahoo News)”

Maxwell Frost voted in favor of removing U.S. Armed Forces from Somalia (H.Con.Res. 30) and Venezuela (H.Con.Res. 68), demonstrating a stance for limiting unauthorized military deployments abroad. He also voted to support the "Pressure Regulatory Organizations To End Chinese Threats to (PROTECT) Taiwan Act" (HR 1531), indicating support for measures to address Chinese threats to Taiwan. This shows a policy that is cautious about military intervention while supporting strategic alliances.

““It’s not just enough to be against Donald Trump,” Rep. Maxwell Frost said. “But we have our own agenda that’s actually going to work for our constituents and for working people in this country. To transform this economy, to work for them, not work for the billionaires, not work for the corporations that for years and years and years have exploited us.” (Rep. Maxwell Frost, Notus, February 26, 2026)”

“i look forward to being a strong advocate and champion to ensuring we live in a country where we don't have to fear going to church going to school because of gun violence we deserve the freedom to live without the fear of that violence and i'm looking forward to being a champion on that issue in congress. - Maxwell Frost, YouTube interview, August 2022”

Representative Maxwell Frost advocates for various gun policy measures. He co-introduced the National Gun Violence Research Act of 2025 to expand research on gun safety, which is endorsed by organizations like Giffords and Brady United. Frost also introduced bills such as the Prevent Illegal Gun Resales Act and the Destroy Zombie Guns Act, stating the need to address gun violence as the leading cause of death for children and teens.

“No one should worry about whether they’ll make it home from school, a music festival, a night out, or a trip to the grocery store. Yet, gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens — and is forcing families and communities to live with that fear every day. I’m proud to join Reps. Foushee and Beyer in introducing the Gun Violence Research Act of 2025 to help us collect the data and evidence needed to address this crisis with the urgency it demands," said Congressman Maxwell Frost.”
