One of the leading political activists to emerge from the aftermath of 2018’s Parkland school shooting has his biggest endorsement yet for a leadership role in the Democratic Party.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the party’s most recent nominee for Vice President, wants David Hogg to be the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) next Vice Chair.
Walz believes Hogg has a “unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party.”
“This is exactly what we need right now: experienced, thoughtful and energized leadership that meets people where they are and takes bold action to win. I couldn’t be happier to throw my support behind him and his vision for the party, and I look forward to working with him every step of the way,” Walz told POLITICO Playbook.
The March For Our Lives co-founder already got an endorsement from a fellow member of Generation Z who represents Florida in Congress: U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost.
Earlier this week, Frost argued Hogg’s “experience of building one of the largest youth-movements in the history of our country will be invaluable to the DNC.”
Hogg was a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High mass shooting in 2018, and one of several students who used the national tragedy to launch March For Our Lives and demand reforms in gun laws.
He has become increasingly involved in politics, including launching the Leaders We Serve national organization recruiting young progressives to run for office. Hogg has also remained involved in Florida politics with Frost and has supported candidates for the Florida Legislature and other offices.
Hogg announced in December that we would run for the Vice Chair position with the DNC.
His candidacy is especially interesting in the wake of underperformance from the Democratic ticket among young voters in Florida and elsewhere, one of the contributing factors to Kamala Harris and Walz losing in every swing state and by a historically lopsided margin in Florida.

Finally, the Democratic gerontocracy is being pushed off the stage since they wouldn’t leave voluntarily.
The MAGAs are going to see this happen soon as Felonious Trump is unlikely to make the full four years as President, based upon his obvious mental decline.
Instead of 47, DJT should be remembered as 78.

Good Mornting America,
Desperate “Dook 4 Brains Leftist” Tim Walz is missing his 15 minutes of fame with “Dook 4 Brains” “Scrumpy Rumpy Kammy” so much that he is trying to seduce that Parkland Kid, David Hogg, into making another 15 minutes of fame for himself.
EARL GIVES SAGE ADVICE TO MR. HOGG:
Stay away from that old bi man David, he will try and violate your manhood.
David likely first knew about Walz trying to get in that Parkland kids tighty whiteys like the rest of our “Great Nation” found out … when David and us “Sage Patriots” read this artical. “Stay away from Walz kid … he’s not gonna help you”, said Earl.
Thanks America and thanks David,
The “Sage” EARL PITTS AMERICAN
