Maxwell Frost
D · U.S. House, FL-10 · Tier 3/4
Tier 3/4, between “Pro-Israel, critical” and “Critical / conditions aid”
An original Block the Bombs cosponsor who voted Nay on the aid supplemental (defense-not-offense). He cosponsors the genocide resolution (H.Res.876), and in a December 2025 Orlando Weekly interview he spoke of “the atrocities that have been going on and the genocide in Gaza”; voting against the April 2024 aid package, he had spoken of “Netanyahu’s seemingly endless war in Gaza.” In December 2023 he voted for H.Res.894, the resolution declaring anti-Zionism antisemitism. He keeps to a two-state, safety-of-everybody frame and takes no full-embargo, BDS, or standing end-all-aid position, though he voted for the July 15, 2026 Massie amendment stripping Israel’s military financing from the FY27 foreign-operations bill (roll 243). Earlier he signed letters backing refugee-program priority for Gazans with U.S. citizen or permanent-resident relatives (June 2024), urging President Biden to sanction Israeli ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir over incitement of settler violence (October 2024), demanding answers on the detentions of student activists Mahmoud Khalil (March 2025) and Mohsen Mahdawi (April 2025) and urging Secretary Rubio to demand a surge of infant formula into Gaza (August 2025). He joined most House Democrats on the September 2025 Schneider–Raskin letter opposing West Bank annexation and signed the January 2026 Welch–Khanna letter urging a stronger U.S. response to Israel’s moves to annex it, including the E-1 settlement; in February 2026 he was one of 15 lawmakers seeking accountability for Israel’s detention and abuse of Palestinian American teenager Mohammed Ibrahim. In August and September 2026 Frost signed Tlaib’s letter demanding the release of 20-year-old US citizen Sama Safi from Israeli military detention, the Dexter–Ruiz letter seeking the release of Gaza pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from Israeli detention without charge (Sep 8) and the Pocan–Quigley letter on Palestinian medical workers held by Israel without charge (Sep 24). On Oct 1, 2026 Frost became an original cosponsor of the Stop the Settlements Act (H.R.10642), which would sanction those who build or expand Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza and ban imports of settlement goods. On Oct 8 he signed the Tlaib–Green letter seeking the release of Ya’akub Ira Vijandre, a DACA recipient held by ICE for a year, which says DHS has cited “his advocacy for Palestine” among its grounds for holding him. No opponent qualified for 2026, so under Florida law he is re-elected without appearing on the ballot.
A 3/4. On weapons his record is strong: an original cosponsor of Block the Bombs (May 2025), he voted Nay on the April 2024 aid package, saying he could justify aid for defense but not offense, and Aye on the July 2026 Massie amendment to strip Israel’s military financing. He cosponsors the genocide resolution (H.Res.876) and has spoken of “the genocide in Gaza” in his own voice (December 2025), and he voted against the IHRA bill, the “river to the sea” resolution and the 2026 anti-boycott bill. What holds him short of a clean 4 is his December 2023 vote for H.Res.894, the resolution declaring anti-Zionism antisemitism; he also keeps to a two-state, safety-of-everybody frame. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted No on H.Res.894. Counter-case: a 4, on the strength of his weapons record alone.
