Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg’s group, Leaders We Deserve, launched a $20 million initiative on Monday aimed at launching primary challenges against House Democrats in safe seats in the hopes of electing a new generation of leaders.
“We’re not only focused on targeting Democratic incumbents when necessary,” Hogg told The Hill in a Wednesday interview. “We are here to elect young people who are running in open seats. We’re here to elect young people that are running open, competitive seats as well, and support them when they align with our values.”
Hogg noted that his group is not blindly seeking to elect young Democrats, but rather seeking to elect young Democrats “who are ready to meet the moment.”
“Earlier somebody said to me, ‘Oh, you’re here to replace the old with new.’ I would say we’re here to replace the ineffective with the new and effective,” he said.
Leaders We Deserve endorses candidates for state House seats who are 30 years old and younger, and candidates who are 35 years old and younger for federal races. The group spent $12 million in the 2024 general election cycle.
Hogg argued that the status quo in leadership in the U.S. has given way to issues like the threat of school shootings, climate change, the lack of affordable housing and student debt, which he said have all had a particular impact on young people.
“That is a democratic society that has enabled that to happen,” he said. “What we have to do in our party is show how we are standing up against special interests to fight for everyday people and deliver for Americans across the country.”

I knew you could!
I loath Stolen Valor assholes, whether they are military or victims in terrorist acts.
I don’t know which one is the biggest puke, AOC or Hogg.
It’s a good thing he is young. He will have time to recover his political career twenty or thirty years from now. //sarcasm
Do it, Pigg. We want to see internecine warfare among the Dims and you’re just the blockhead to bring this off.
He is exactly what we need for 2026
He needs better funding.
Good. I hope it works. His efforts will dilute the Dem vote at worst and take out some entrenched scum incumbents at best...possibly ensuring a GOP win in the general.
“GOP just waits for some to show up before they lend some support.”
Or they don’t lend any support at all.
Does he know he’s a democrat ?LOL
This will really make him popular among House dems.
I would say we’re here to replace the ineffective with the new and effective LIBERALISM.
Hogg is once again digging in his trough for more cash. 🐷
Maybe the GOP should draft prospects each year.
He’s a queen, period.
Is he related to the Bud Lite kid?
Hogg, gives POS an understatement.
Hogg’s a leader they deserve. You go, Hoggy Woggy.
Where did he get $20 million?
Was it stolen from the taxpayer?
Lock him up.
