Maxwell Alejandro Frost serves central Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives for the Democratic Party, and he took the stage on the final night of the Democratic National Convention. In his short speech about climate change, Frost offered his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris just hours before she was scheduled to take the stage.
Frost represents Florida’s 10th District and is notably the first Generation Z representative to serve in Congress. He spoke about the impacts of climate change, pulling from the effects storms have had on Florida like flooding damaging homes, workers enduring hot conditions and record heat. He warned the crowd about the impacts of climate change saying, “I’m here to tell you that the climate crisis isn’t some far-off threat, it is here,” but with the Harris, Walz administration, he believes progress can be made.
Finally, Frost encouraged the crowd that “Fighting the climate crisis is patriotic!”
The Democratic National Convention is in Chicago through Thursday and Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to formally accept the party’s nomination for the 2024 Election on the final night.
