Parkland, Florida, high school shooting survivor David Hogg won his bid to become one of three vice chairs during the Democratic National Committee election on Saturday.
“David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic and courageous leadership our party needs right now,” [Tim] Walz wrote on social media earlier this month. “He has a unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party. I couldn’t be happier to support him for DNC vice chair.
“I’m proud to endorse David Hogg for DNC vice chair because he has proven himself as one of the most fearless and effective organizers of his generations,” Eric Swalwell wrote online Friday.
Leaders from the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers also threw their support behind Hogg.
Someone to admire. I hope he does well.
