David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland shooting turned gun safety and youth leadership advocate, won his race for one of the Democratic national committee’s vice-chair positions on Saturday, becoming the first member of gen Z to take on a national leadership role within the party.
As he assumes his position, Hogg, 24, has set his sights on crafting a more authentic message to reach the young and working-class voters who supported Donald Trump in November, and he warned that Democrats will remain shut out of power unless they respond to the most pressing priorities of their constituents.
