DNC Panel Pushes to Scrap David Hogg's Vice Chair Election

The future of David Hogg's position as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hangs in the balance. A DNC panel recommended Monday that his election, along with that of Malcolm Kenyatta, be redone. This follows a challenge alleging procedural irregularities during the February election.

The controversy stems from a challenge brought by Kalyn Free, a Native American committeeperson from Oklahoma, who lost to Hogg in one of the vice chair races. Free claims the DNC improperly combined voting questions, potentially disadvantaging female candidates in violation of party rules. The panel agreed, recommending new elections with only the original candidates participating.

This decision comes amid existing controversy surrounding Hogg's efforts to challenge more moderate Democrats in primaries. His group, Leaders We Deserve, plans to spend $20 million targeting incumbents they view as insufficiently anti-Trump, drawing criticism from prominent party figures who emphasize the importance of party unity and neutrality in primaries. DNC Chair Ken Martin has publicly stated his disappointment in the procedural errors and his commitment to a fair resolution.

Hogg, a prominent gun control advocate and survivor of the Parkland school shooting, maintains that the effort to overturn his election is politically motivated, suggesting an attempt to remove him from his leadership position within the DNC. His actions highlight a growing internal struggle within the Democratic party between progressive and more centrist wings.

The full DNC will now consider the panel's recommendation. The outcome will significantly impact the party's internal dynamics and the future role of progressive activists within the Democratic leadership.
