U.S. Rep. Max Rose looks back on first year in office
Democratic U.S. Representative Max Rose sailed into office last year on a blue wave of change and backed by a fervent following of young and passionate volunteers who helped him unseat Republican Congressmember Dan Donovan.
The 33-year-old veteran, who represents the 11th Congressional District, which includes parts of southern Brooklyn and all of Staten Island, served as an active duty officer in Afghanistan from 2012-2013 and earned a Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Infantry Badge.
Rose is Ranger-qualified and continues to serve in the National Guard. He currently serves on the House Committees on Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, and is chairperson of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.
