VA-11: Hogg's group jumps into Virginia House primary amid DNC tensions [View all]
Leaders We Deserve, the group led by Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg, is getting involved in the race to replace the late Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) as Hogg grapples with tensions in the national party.
The group, aimed at elevating young progressives, backed Virginia state Del. Irene Shin for the 11th Congressional District, with Hogg praising her as “an incredible progressive leader” who is “committed to doing things differently.
In turn, Shin also offered praise to the embattled Hogg.
“He’s never backed down from a tough fight — exactly the kind of bold leadership we need right now,” she said of the 25-year-old gun control activist in the release from Leaders We Deserve.
