Max N. Rose[1] (born November 28, 1986) is an American Democratic politician serving as the U. S. Representative from New York's 11th congressional district, which includes all of New York City's borough of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn. He defeated the incumbent Republican, Dan Donovan, in the 2018 midterm elections.[2]

Rose served in the U.S. Army as a platoon leader in the War in Afghanistan, where he was wounded, from 2012 to 2013.[3][4][5][6] For his service, he was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.[3]

Early life and education

Rose was born in Brooklyn, New York.[7] His father is a City University of New York professor, and his mother is a welfare policy and social work expert.[8] He grew up primarily in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and celebrated his bar mitzvah at Union Temple of Brooklyn in Prospect Heights.[9]

He attended high school at Poly Prep Country Day School in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, and captained the wrestling team, graduating in 2004.[5][10][11] He subsequently received a degree in history from Wesleyan University, and then a master’s degree in philosophy and public policy from the London School of Economics.[3][6]

Military career

Rose served nearly five years of active duty with the US Army 1st Armored Division.[3] In 2012–13, he was a 26-year-old first lieutenant platoon leader in the War in Afghanistan, where he was wounded after his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device in northern Kandahar Province.[4][5][6] After completing Ranger School he earned the Ranger tab, the Combat Infantryman Badge, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart.[3] He serves as a company commander in the New York Army National Guard with the 69th Infantry Regiment.[5][12]

Post-military career

After leaving full-time military service, Rose served as Director of Public Engagement for Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson. Later, he served as Chief of Staff at Brightpoint Health, a nonprofit operator of medical clinics in Staten Island and elsewhere in New York City.[2][13]

Rose became involved in politics while a student at Wesleyan University; he worked as an intern for U.S. Senator Cory Booker while Booker was Mayor of Newark, New Jersey.[14]

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2018 § District 11

Rose ran in the 2018 Democratic Party primary for New York's 11th congressional district against five other candidates, winning with 65 percent of the vote.[14] In the general election he faced Republican Representative Dan Donovan, a former state prosecutor, and received endorsements from former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden.[4] Rose defeated Donovan, 52.8% to 46.8%, a win widely seen as an upset as most ratings of the race considered it leaning Republican.[15]

Positions

Rose supports improving transportation infrastructure in South Brooklyn and Staten Island.[16] He favors lowering the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 55, universal health care with a public healthcare option,[17] and expanding access to clinics for treating opioid addiction.[16] He also supports criminal background checks for gun purchases, and an assault rifles ban.[13] He believes that the United States should rejoin the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's Paris Agreement as a way to lower carbon dioxide emissions.[16]

Personal life

Rose and his wife, Leigh, were married in March 2018.[2] They reside in St. George, Staten Island.[17] Rose is Jewish.[3]
