The 24-year-old activist aims to revitalize Democratic messaging and empower young voters after the party's electoral setbacks.
- David Hogg, co-founder of March for Our Lives and a Parkland shooting survivor, is running for one of the Democratic National Committee's vice chair positions.
- Hogg's campaign focuses on addressing the party's declining support among young voters, who shifted significantly toward Republicans in the 2024 elections.
- He has criticized Democratic leadership for ineffective messaging on issues like the economy and crime, as well as for a lack of accountability after losing the White House and Congress in November.
- Hogg emphasizes the need to reform institutional strategies, reduce reliance on consultants, and engage with voters more authentically, particularly through digital platforms.
- If elected, Hogg plans to advocate for working-class issues, healthcare reform, and greater representation of young voices within the Democratic Party's leadership.
