The midterm elections will take place in the U.S.A. on 8 November. Among thousands of candidates, Maxwell Alejandro Frost stands out as a lively and enthusiastic young activist, who’s been involved in politics and has organised political events since he was 15. Now 25, Frost is aiming to be the first member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress. Born to a Cuban family and adopted by another Cuban family living in Florida, Maxwell’s early career is reminiscent of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s.
