Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced plans on Tuesday to spend $20 million in safe-blue Democratic primaries against sitting House members by supporting younger opponents. In an interview with POLITICO, Hogg said the group will not back primary challenges in battleground districts because “I want us to win the majority,” nor will it target members solely based on their age.

“We have a culture of seniority politics that has created a litmus test of who deserves to be here,” Hogg said. “We need people, regardless of their age, that are here to fight.”

Hogg burst onto the political scene as a survivor of the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., in 2018 and was elected as a vice chair of the DNC in February, over the objection of moderates who complained about his history of far-left rhetoric. Traditionally, DNC vice chairs are largely ceremonial roles with little public attention and even less power. But Hogg is testing the limits of the position — and the DNC’s willingness to stomach internal dissent.

I've noticed TLR doesn't seem to like this guy, but I figured someone with this background would probably be more of an AOC, Bernie type progressive than a more useless Democrat. Looks like he's trying to prove it

Yeah he was a victim so he should, he didn’t ask to be in that situation. People like Rittenhouse, Zimmerman, Daniel Petty.

Sounds good, back challengers to incumbents. Let the voters decide.

He views seniority as an impediment, but wielded in the right hands seniority brings leverage in working to get things done.

show he gets it. only target the safe areas. it always bothered me that in safe states and districts the dems have some fairly moderate people. that's where your radicals are suppose to come from. if everyone is basically a moderate then the only directions bills can go is to the right.
