"If you want to challenge incumbents, you're more than free to do that — just not as an officer of the DNC." — Ken Martin, new DNC Chair, to David Hogg earlier this week after the group Hogg co-founded announced it will spend $20 million in primary challenges against "ineffective" Democrats in safe blue seats.
UPDATE! David Hogg responds!
"We spent 2 BILLION dollars and still lost an election to a convicted felon who literally attempted to overthrow our government We can’t fix a 27% approval rating by just changing our words. We need to change who we are." — David Hogg, to the DNC on X.
TAKE THE SURVEY: Who is right – The DNC Chair or David Hogg? The PCCC will share results with the media.
What’s going on — quick recap:
- David Hogg (age 25, Parkland shooting survivor, co-founder of Leaders We Deserve) was elected DNC Vice Chair on a promise to shake up party culture and re-energize young voters.
- Existing DNC bylaws already require officers to stay neutral in presidential primaries, where the DNC controls debates, calendar, and delegates.
- The DNC Chair’s new proposal: Gag DNC officers from weighing in on any primary — even for congressional races, which the DNC doesn’t oversee.
Here’s David’s reply:
Who is right? Should DNC officers like David Hogg to forced to remain neutral in all primaries to protect incumbents? Or should Democrats welcome competitive primaries that make us stronger?
