Max Rose

In March 2020, while serving as a member of Congress, Rose announced that he would deploy with the National Guard to assist New York City's coronavirus pandemic response effort.

On April 1, 2020, Rose deployed to the National Guard to assist with Staten Island coronavirus response efforts.

In March 2019, in response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's view that "[Congress] could have leaned more on the larger role of other agencies (intelligence, state dept, diplomatic teams, etc) before Congress decided to invade a nation without a concrete end plan," Rose wrote to the New York Daily News:

On October 2, 2019, Rose announced his support for an impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump for his attempt to pressure Ukraine into interfering in the 2020 presidential election. Rose was one of the last House Democrats to announce support for the probe.

Rose ran in the 2018 Democratic Party primary for New York's 11th congressional district against five other candidates, winning with 65% of the vote. In the general election, he faced Republican incumbent Dan Donovan and received endorsements from former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden. Rose defeated Donovan, 52.8% to 46.8%, a win widely seen as an upset as most ratings of the race considered Donovan a slight favorite. Rose is only the second Democrat to hold the seat since 1981.

Rose and his wife Leigh Byrne (a fashion stylist) were married in March 2018. They reside in St. George, Staten Island. In 2020, the couple adopted a son, Miles Benjamin.

"I believe it's long past time we end the war in Afghanistan, but I strongly disagree with the idea that the invasion [of Afghanistan] was wrong on moral or national security grounds ... After our city and country were attacked we were very clear with the Taliban—either they give up Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda, or we would come and get them ourselves ... They chose to protect Osama Bin Laden, and they rightfully paid the price."

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

Rose enlisted in the United States Army in 2010. He served nearly five years of active duty with the U.S. Army 1st Armored Division. In 2012–13, he was a 26-year-old first lieutenant platoon leader fighting in the War in Afghanistan, when he was wounded after his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device in northern Kandahar Province. After completing Ranger School, he earned the Ranger tab, the Combat Infantryman Badge, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart. He serves as a company commander in the New York Army National Guard with the 69th Infantry Battalion, the second-oldest unit in the United States.

Rose attended high school at Poly Prep Country Day School in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, where he captained the wrestling team, and graduated in 2004. He subsequently received a bachelor's degree in history from Wesleyan University, graduating in 2008. 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. He later earned a master's degree in philosophy and public policy from the London School of Economics and attended the University of Oxford.
