Maxwell Frost, set to soon become the first member of Generation Z to serve in Congress, says he’s been denied from several apartments over bad credit, which he accumulated while running his House race. Plus, he hasn’t been paid yet.

That was Maxwell Frost, set to soon become the first member of Generation Z to serve in Congress, discussing his inability to get an apartment in Washington, D.C. despite being elected to Congress.

“It’s not cheap,” Frost admitted to ABC in an interview this week. “I’m dealing with it right now, getting denied from apartments, trying to figure out where to live because I have bad credit. I’m probably just going to have to, like, couch surf for a little bit.” While that yearly income should be enough for most people to find suitable living accommodations, Frost, a democrat, responded to a tweet from the Republican National Committee Research Twitter account that, in addition to having bad credit, he has not gotten paid yet.

Frost ran on a “social, racial & economic justice” platform and received high-profile endorsements from progressives and former presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.According to a LendingTree survey from 2022, roughly 42% of Americans say they have been denied a financial tool like a credit card or loan in the past year due to bad credit. Average credit scores in the U.S. have either increased or stayed the same every year since 2017, according to Experian.
