Max Rose (born November 28, 1986) is an American politician and military officer who served as the U.S. representative for New York's 11th congressional district from 2019 to 2021. A moderate Democrat, he played a key role in bringing a stalled bill for a fund for victims of the September 11 attacks to a vote in the United States House of Representatives. Rose served in the Biden administration as senior advisor to the United States secretary of defense for COVID-19 from January 2021 to July 2021.
From 2012 to 2013, Rose served in the U.S. Army as a platoon leader in combat in the War in Afghanistan. Wounded while on duty, he was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
In 2018, Rose defeated incumbent Republican Dan Donovan to win election to New York's 11th congressional district. The district includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn. In the 2020 election, Rose lost to the Republican nominee, state assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis.
In December 2021, Rose announced his candidacy in the 2022 U.S. House of Representatives elections to regain his former seat; in a rematch of the 2020 race, he was defeated by Malliotakis, 62% to 38%.
