Maxwell Frost is on the path to becoming the first member of Gen Z to be elected to Congress.
The 25-year-old Democrat won his primary in Florida's 10th Congressional District on Tuesday.
"We won because of our message: Love. That no matter who you are, you deserve healthcare, a livable wage, and to live free from gun violence," Frost said on Twitter.
WE WON!!! Thank you so much to all of our supporters, endorsers, volunteers, & staff. We won because of our message: Love. That no matter who you are, you deserve healthcare, a livable wage, and to live free from gun violence. We made history tonight. Thank you so much, Orlando. pic.twitter.com/FwNxadyQtg

Frost is favored to win his general election race in November. He will take on Republican Calvin Wimbish in the Orlando-based district, which leans heavily in favor of Democrats.
This was the first election where members of Gen Z could run for a spot in the U.S. House of Representatives. Members must be at least 25 years old.
People in Gen Z were born between 1997 and 2012, according to the Pew Research Center.
