Rep. Maxwell Frost talks gun violence while drumming up support for Harris in Flint

U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) “drummed up” support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in Flint on Thursday, joining a jazz band in Flint to play percussion. The event also featured state Rep. Jasper Martus (D-Flushing) and Flint City Council President Ladel Lewis.

Frost gave a primetime speech at the Democratic National Convention last week and also headlined an event in Detroit Thursday for influencers supporting Harris. He’s scheduled to hold a young voter event in Grand Rapids on Friday.

Frost, 27, is the only member of Congress from Generation Z and said Thursday that he first got involved in politics because he “didn’t want to get shot in school.”

He shared that shortly before a school jazz band concert, he and his friends saw the news of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.
