This is a list of Generation Z members of the United States Congress. The definition of Generation Z is generally accepted as people born between the mid-to-late 1990s and the early 2010s. The Pew Research Center defined 1997 as the starting birth year based on "different formative experiences."[1]
Due to the federal age of candidacy in the United States being age 25 for the House and age 30 for the Senate, the first elections in which Generation Z became eligible as congressional candidates was 2022, although they will later become eligible for Senate elections in 2028.[a] As of 2023, Maxwell Frost of Florida is the only member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress.
