Anti-gun activist David Hogg is launching a new political action committee (PAC), which will support getting far-left activists under the age of 35 into federal office, and under-30s into state office. His new ‘Leaders We Deserve’ PAC is planning to target Democrat-held seats in the run-up to the 2024 presidential primaries, and provide financial resources and coaching to nominees.
The PAC-backed candidates will be selected based on their participation in social movements that started during Donald Trump’s first presidential term, such as the Women’s March, the David Hogg-led March for Our Lives, the environmental movement, and Black Lives Matter (BLM).
He also states the main focus of the PAC is to “help turn the tide against this far-right tsunami” spreading across the United States and making Generation Z lose faith in democracy.
“We can work to fix it and make it better as a generation,” Hogg asserts.
