Hogg declines to run again for DNC vice chair after new election is called

Source: Politico

“David Hogg will not run again for his Democratic National Committee vice chairman position, he announced on Tuesday, amid a firestorm the 25-year-old activist sparked over his pledge to take on ‘ineffective’ Democratic incumbents. DNC members removed Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta through a virtual vote on Wednesday night, stemming from a procedural complaint unrelated to Hogg’s primary activities. … Hogg said he would now focus his efforts on Leaders We Deserve, the group he co-founded, which said it would take on ‘asleep-at-the-wheel’ Democrats by pledging to spend $20 million on safe-seat Democratic primaries. Hogg’s plan, announced in April, triggered a wave of anger from elected officials and DNC members, who argued that Hogg’s role as a party leader conflicted with the decision to take on incumbents.” (06/11/25)
