DNC panel votes to void David Hogg’s election as Democratic vice chair

The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election as vice chair of the party. 

Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was elected vice chair in February but has drawn criticism from some Democrats over his plans to spend $20 million to take down long-serving Democratic House lawmakers in primaries.

“[It’s] impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after the vote, according to Politico.
