The age group, the next in line after Millennials, is generally considered to start with those born in 1997 or later. Currently, the sole Zoomer in Congress is Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), who was elected in 2022 at the age of 25. > Two more Zoomers, both running as Democrats, are candidates for the House of Representatives in California and Maryland this November. Cheyenne Hunt, 26, is an attorney running in California’s 45th district. The seat, located in Orange County, was historically Republican before flipping blue in 2018, then being retaken by Republicans in 2022 after redistricting. Prior to 2022, the incumbent was progressive Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who is now running for the United States Senate; the current incumbent is Republican Michelle Steel (R-Calif.), who won by roughly 5%.
