June 12 (UPI) -- Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg announced that he won't be running for re-election for his role after DNC members voted to redo his election.
Hogg announced on X Wednesday that he would not run in the election so the Democratic party "can focus on what really matters," adding he would focus on work with Leaders We Deserve a grassroots organization focused on electing young progressives to U.S. and state legislatures.
"I'm thankful to everyone who has supported me in this role. I'm proud to have travelled to 10 states to do 30+ events, raising money for state parties, organizing with young Democrats and getting out the vote for special elections in Wisconsin and Florida," Hogg wrote. "I have nothing but admiration and respect for my fellow officers. Even though we have disagreements, we all are here to build the strongest party possible."
DNC members voted 294-99 Wednesday to redo the election of both Hogg's and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta's vice chair roles after Oklahoma DNC member Kalyn Free challenged how the vice chair election was conducted in February.
