Florida Congressman-Elect Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the first Gen Z candidate to make it to Congress, says he tried applying for an apartment in Washington, D.C. — but got denied because of low credit.
25-year-old Frost let out his housing frustrations Thursday, tweeting … “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.”
He says, “This ain’t meant for people who don’t already have money,” before answering some follow-up questions — mainly telling people his credit tanked because of all the debt he got while running for Congress.
He added, and not jokingly, “Didn’t make enough money from Uber itself to pay for a living.”
Frost gives a shoutout to fellow Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who he says went through the same thing 4 years ago … pointing out how history’s repeating itself.
He ends his post pointing toward the fact that his credit should bump back up once he gets on his new salary, but adds … “We have to do better for the whole country.”
