David Hogg, embroiled in controversy, will not seek re-election to the DNC leadership role.

David Hogg, a gun-control advocate and former DNC vice chair, will not run to retain his leadership position at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after controversies over his push to target long-serving Democrats in safe seats. The DNC had removed Hogg and another officer for violating party rules. Hogg plans to focus on his group, Leaders We Deserve to support young progressives against established Democrats.
