'This ain't meant for people who don't already have money,' Maxwell Frost said.
Frost, a progressive Democrat elected to represent Florida's 10th District, followed up his social media post by writing that his poor credit stemmed from his congressional campaign.
"For those asking, I have bad credit cause I ran up a lot of debt running for Congress for a year and a half. Didn't make enough money from Uber itself to pay for my living," he wrote.On Twitter, Frost referenced Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who, in 2018, became the youngest woman elected to the House -- and who also had a hard time as an incoming lawmaker finding affordable housing in Washington on her then-salary.
The salary for a member of Congress is $174,000. But Frost wrote that still, "we have to do better for the whole country."
