Maxwell Frost's historic win didn't come easy — and now, the financial toll of the campaign is making it difficult for him to secure a home near the House.

Gen Z member of Congress at just 25 years old. But that historic win didn't come easy — and now, the financial toll of the campaign is making it difficult for him to secure a home near the House.

Just applied to an apartment in DC where I told the guy that my credit was really bad. He said I’d be fine. Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee.December 8, 2022 He went on to say that he has bad credit because he"ran up a lot of debt running for Congress for a year and a half." that he had quit his job to focus on campaigning. He drove for Uber to pay his bills, a"sacrifice" he said he made because"I can't imagine myself not doing anything but fixing the problems we have right now."

That's great!

Lets see what his credit score is by the time he's done with congress...

Nope he has bad credit.

He be a m millionaire in a year.

Don’t worry, he’ll be a millionaire in 4 years..

hmmm, maybe the house will create a bill addressing the exorbitant amount of money people are charging for rent. Its a nationwide problem, sorry about his dilemma but its nice to know a representative knows what its like now.

He should have taken that into consideration before running for office.

Biden Inflation Act

OK, but did he not think about these costs when he entered the race?

I agree it’s bad. What can be done? What will be done? Will it apply to just elected officials or everyone?

Reality 🆚 expectations. 🧵 Putting aside his yr of unemployment a valid observation was made. For a candidate that lives paycheck to paycheck w/ little to 0 savings which according to statics is most of the 🇺🇸 a few mo worth of living expenses can turn into a significant issue.

Good. Pass some housing subsidies

Don’t worry the swamp wil take care of him

Insider trading and lobbyist money incoming so stay strong young man.
