The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election to vice chair of the party.
Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was elected vice chair in February but has drawn criticism from some Democrats over his plans to spend $20 million to take down long-serving Democratic House lawmakers in primaries.
“[It’s] impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after the vote, according to Politico.
“The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort,” he added.
The committee, which found procedural violations occurred in the February election, also voted to oust Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta as DNC vice chair.
Hogg and Kenyatta, however, will remain at their posts until the full DNC votes on whether to approve their removals later this year.
Christine Pelosi, a member of the credentials committee and daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), insisted that the vote to void Hogg’s vice chair election win had nothing to do with politics.
“First, I want to say clearly and explicitly that this decision has nothing to do with the service of any DNC officer, especially [Hogg] or [Kenyatta]. This is about a violation of parliamentary procedure that was raised in a challenge filed back in February by another candidate for Vice Chair,” Pelosi wrote on X.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I survived the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I wasn’t born until many decades afterward, and have never been to Hawaii, but I survived the attack.
Gotta give those jagoffs credit - they’ll ’undermine democracy’ to get the candidates and ossifers they want, when they want ‘sm…🙄
I survived Apollo 13. It was a harrowing experience but the view from space was magnificent.
I thought Hogg was at home or at some Burger joint when the shooting happened- hardly a “survivor,” more like a no show.
Not very democratic of them
Sue ‘em, Dave!
They are now openly rigging their own elections too?
Chuckle.
They’ll oppose any proactive, prime movers and shakers who want to upset their apple cart(s) and David is an upstart who hasn’t paid his dues.
Keep running elections and counting the votes until you get the desired outcome.
“Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla”
He wasn’t at school that day.
wow they got the wig-whomper too.
Now can Hogg payback Pelosi. Yes he can.
STAY DAVEY!!! DON'T LET THEM PUSH YOU OUT!!! YOU ARE TOO IMPORTANT.....(to us)!!
No...he was at the school...Holed up in a closet with a few kids. It’s been verified 100 times.
He was there during the shooting.
The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election to vice chair of the party.
How democratic of them! They don’t even let their own elections stand....
Fight ‘em. Dave! Make ‘em get in the slop with ya!
“Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School “
He wasn’t even there. When it happened, he rode his little tricycle back to the school. He’s been dining out on that lie for many years now.
