"I told the guy that my credit was really bad. He said I'd be fine. Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee," Frost wrote in a tweet.The average rent for an apartment in Washington is. $2,335, according toFrost, a progressive Democrat elected to represent Florida's 10th District, followed up his social media post by writing that his poor credit stemmed from his congressional campaign.
"For those asking, I have bad credit cause I ran up a lot of debt running for Congress for a year and a half. Didn't make enough money from Uber itself to pay for my living," he wrote.On Twitter, Frost referenced Rep.
