DNC Vice Chair David Hogg Faces Backlash Over PAC Fundraising Practices

Hogg is criticized for using party resources to solicit donations for a personal PAC that pays him a six-figure salary.

David Hogg, recently elected as the Democratic National Committee Vice Chair, is under scrutiny for using DNC contact lists to fundraise for his PAC, Leaders We Deserve.
The PAC, founded in 2023, aims to support young progressive candidates but also pays Hogg over $100,000 annually, raising ethical concerns among party officials.
Hogg sent eight fundraising messages to DNC databases, which some party members argue should be used exclusively for broader Democratic initiatives, not personal projects.
While the fundraising does not violate DNC rules, critics within the party have labeled it a lapse in judgment and a misuse of resources.
Hogg, a prominent gun reform activist and Parkland shooting survivor, has declined to comment publicly on the controversy but has raised funds for the DNC in the past.
