Max N. Rose[1] (born November 28, 1986) is an American military officer and politician who served as a United States Representative from New York for a single term from 2019 to 2021. A moderate Democrat, he served on the committees for Homeland Security and Veteran's Affairs and 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.[2][3][4] 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.[5]

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,[6][7][8] he was awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.[9]

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.[10] In the 2020 election, Rose lost to the Republican nominee, state assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis.

After losing reelection to Congress, Rose briefly considered running for Mayor of New York City in the 2021 election, but ultimately did not enter the race. On January 20, 2021, he was sworn in as special assistant to the U.S. Secretary of Defense for COVID-19, serving in the role for six months.[11] In December 2021, Rose announced his candidacy in the 2022 U.S. House of Representatives elections to regain his former seat;[2] in a rematch of the 2020 race, he was defeated by Malliotakis, earning 37.5% of the vote.
