Hogg gained national prominence after surviving the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In the wake of the tragedy, he became a vocal advocate for stricter gun control and emerged as a prominent figure in the youth-led movement for political reform. Since then, he has been active in a range of progressive causes, and in February, was elected as a vice chair of the DNC.
However, on Wednesday, DNC members voted 294–99 to nullify the election that had elevated both Hogg and fellow Democrat Malcolm Kenyatta to vice chair positions.
Hogg Says He Will Not Seek Re-Election
In response to the vote, Hogg announced he would not run agai
"It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair - and it's okay to have disagreements. What isn't okay is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on," Hogg said in a statement on Wednesday.
