Maxwell Frost, Shevrin Jones tapped for Biden-Harris advisory group

The Biden-Harris 2024 reelection campaign announced the formation of its National Advisory Board, a group of Democratic elected officials across the country tasked with helping the campaign engage voters. Two Florida politicians have joined the team.

U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost and state Sen. Shevrin Jones are two of the 50 electeds so far that were named to the panel, tasked to assist with fundraising and use their networks to spread the campaign’s message. Frost and Jones weren’t in it, but the campaign put out a video showcasing other high-profile members of the board, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Jones told City & State that he was honored to partner with the campaign and committed to do whatever he can to keep Biden in the White House for four more years. “There has been historic progress as President Biden and Vice President Harris have been laser focused on delivering for the American people. With our democracy and rights on the line, it is imperative that we help them finish the job,” he said.

Board members will help in “key battleground states,” though it’s a head-scratcher as to how Florida is on that list after the last election cycle. But as Congress’ first Gen-Z member and one of the Florida Legislature's most prominent Democratic members, maybe Frost and Jones have something up their sleeve.
