Gen Z Congressman-elect Maxwell Frost was denied an apartment over "really bad" credit

Maxwell Frost made history last month when he won election in Florida's 10th Congressional District, becoming the first Gen Z member of Congress at just 25 years old. But that historic win didn't come easy — and now, the financial toll of the campaign is making it difficult for him to secure a home near the House. 

In a Twitter thread on Thursday, Frost said that he had just applied to rent an apartment in Washington, D.C. During that process, he told the person taking his application that his "credit was really bad." 

"He said I'd be fine," Frost said. "Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee. This ain't meant for people who don't already have money."
