He defeated Florida Senator Randolph Bracy and former U.S. representatives Corrine Brown and Alan Grayson, among others in August 23, 2022, primary. Because of the district’s Democratic shift, he was expected to win the general election in November.

Frost was endorsed by many national and local political figures such as former NAACP President Ben Jealous, Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, and U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

Foreign policy

Maxwell endorses a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has indicated his intent to travel to Israel to promote ”US leadership in bringing peace to a region that so desperately needs and deserves it.” Frost has called himself both ”pro-Israel and pro-Palestine.” He also supports unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel. Frost has criticized the Palestinian Authority’s martyr’s fund that compensates the families of dead and wounded militants, likening it to a recruitment tactic of Hamas for the purpose of committing politically motivated violence against Israel. He strongly opposes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and accuses it of harboring leadership from terrorist organizations. Frost also suggests that businesses that take part in BDS should in turn be divested.

Pro-Palestine position reversal controversy

The Jewish news website Jewish Insider published a candidate questionnaire from his congressional campaign that marked a sudden reversal in his foreign policy positions on Israel and Palestine in early August 2022. He had formerly taken part in pro-Palestine activism, but in the questionnaire, he distanced himself from the past while declaring an aggressive stance against the BDS movement. Frost also called for unconditional military help to Israel and stated his opposition to anti-Zionism. Frost’s campaign then launched a position paper that formalized these positions.

Progressive groups have since lambasted him for ”abandoning Palestine on his way to the Democratic primary win”. While his former pro-Palestine activist colleagues have accused him of deceitfully using pro-Palestine ”organizing success as a stepping stool to become anti-Palestinian” and engaging in a bait-and-switch as the vote by mail ballots for the main election had already been cast prior to his shift in policy positions.
