Maxwell Frost, first Gen Z congressman from Florida, denied D.C. apartment over bad credit

due to bad credit from debt racked up during his election campaign, and until his congressional salary begins.

"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," Frost said Thursday in a Twitter thread.Frost said he accumulated a lot of debt during his year-and-a-half campaign. He said he wasn't able to give himself a stipend until the end of the campaign, and did not make enough as an Uber driver to cover the costs.

"For that primary, I quit my full time job cause I knew that to win at 25-years-old, I’d need to be a full time candidate. 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day. It’s not sustainable or right, but it’s what we had to do," he said.went through similar circumstances back in 2018 after winning her election to represent New York's 14th Congressional District.

"I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real,", according to that report. AOC has not publicly responded to Frost's tweet or circumstance. Frost also acknowledged that he was "speaking from a point of privilege cause in 2 years time, my credit will be okay because of my new salary that starts next year," according to his tweet.Frost defeated Republican Calvin Wimbish in the 2022 election.

Everyone wants to dunk on him for 'not finding housing' when we should be asking why housing is so unattainable in the first place, followed by why do our politicians get millions in 'donations' to keep it that way. But yeah, 'lol try harder' is the best response to this 🙄

It's not hard, he just don't want to live near the real residents

Where has he been he's just now finding out housing is hard to find and the cost of living is high 😕

Guy looks like he belongs in the Metaverse

Well he’ll be worthless at his job. Apparently problem solving is a major weakness.

Maybe dont spend money you cant pay back so your credit doesn't get messed up. People actually voted for this guy?

Who votes these irresponsible fools in

Crying to the public already, , 'yup he's a democratic politician'.....

Meaning he don’t want to live in the hood and wants to live next to white people.

Welcome to adulthood-sucks kinda doesn’t it?

He'll be flush with cash soon as he sells out to special interests and lobbyists. DC put the C in Corruption.

If he wins a Florida seat, in florida why move to a totally different state. Defend florida not Washington DC.

AOC is now a multimillionaire. Go room with her.

'RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH'
