David Hogg Elected as Vice Chair of Democratic National Committee

The 24-year-old Parkland shooting survivor and gun-control activist becomes the first member of Generation Z to hold this position.

David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting and prominent gun-control advocate, was elected as one of three vice chairs of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Hogg, at 24 years old, is the first member of Generation Z to assume this role, marking a generational shift in Democratic Party leadership.
During his election speech, Hogg emphasized the need for Democrats to adopt a more proactive and inclusive approach to win back voters, particularly younger demographics.
His election comes as the Democratic Party reflects on significant losses in the 2024 elections, including the presidency and control of the Senate, and seeks to rebuild its strategy.
While praised by Democratic leaders for his activism and potential to engage young voters, his appointment has been criticized by conservative figures for his strong stance on gun control.
