Some Democratic insiders are already expressing concerns over newly elected Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg just two weeks into his tenure in leadership.
Hogg has already ruffled some feathers within the DNC for using the committee’s contact list to solicit donations for his own political action committee (PAC), Leaders We Deserve, according to a report from the New York Post.
"David Hogg here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win," reads one of eight texts, which include solicitation links to "Leaders We Deserve," sent out to a DNC database of phone numbers, according to the report.
The texts aren’t sitting well with some DNC insiders, who believe the committee’s vast database of numbers and donors should be used to help the future of the party, not a member’s individual PAC.
"David Hogg – talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars all for him and he doesn’t seem to give an oink," one top Democrat told the Post.
Hogg, who first came to prominence as a survivor of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting, founded the PAC in August 2023, which he said aims to help young progressives get elected to Congress and state legislatures across the country.
The now 24-year-old DNC vice chair also pockets a salary of over $100,000, the report notes, having last taken a $20,000 salary payment in December, according to the most recent public data.
While Hogg’s personal fundraising for his PAC does not break any rules, some within the party have taken exception to the young activist's use of DNC resources.

Oh, they can have a recall vote. Like they do in California all the time.
Ok, Dems, you elected a Hogg. What did you expect?
A wannabe important person. Just like every far left libtard, he’s milking the system for his own benefit, under the guise of social justice and equity. Snake oil salesman comes to mind.
I think he is a brilliant choice. He will help democrats with white men, the youth vote, and suburban women. What’s not to like? They should make him the point man for messaging.
**Hogg was not a survivor of the school shooting - he was at home when it happened and traveled to the school when he heard about it
Kinda like John Kerry lite.**
Good one. We should encourage him to do more for the cause. Carville has a problem with 23 year-olds. 24 any different? He’s in punk territory.
Hogg’s white power salute is getting old. I get tired of seeing that picture. He looks like a Nazi.
There is not one masculine male in the entire Democratic party, not one. This Hogg guy and Mayor Pete are the closest they have.
Lil Hitler, what a scamp!
We need to all support HOGG. He is good for the Democrats. Let’s all agree on this.
kinda like Jesse Jacka** dipping his shirt in MLK’s blood.
We all would.
Plan B should be to go trans....Davinia Hogg? He or she would be untouchable then.
Little Davy Hoggboy is nothing but a con artist and fraud.
That’s true.
Sounds like he has great promise as a Democrat leader. He will be full on money laundering like a pro in no time.
Great idea! Could he nurse a baby on camera during interviews? Or would that be a little much?
“It’s especially important for all Democratic national officials to focus on raising support for the party and not using their position to raise money for themselves or their personal political PACS,” a second Democratic Party official told the Post. “It’s a stunning lack of judgment that is concerning to many people.”
Hogg is a white male, and presumably straight.
There is no place for him in the increasingly “diverse” Democrat party.
Did anyone interview the Hogg or even talk to him ? LOL
It’s the AOC effect. The Alpha jackals are upset the pups are fighting their way to the front. Sit back and wait for the grifting scraps for now.
