David Hogg: “I'm not a crisis actor. I'm somebody that had to witness this and live through this.”

I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us.

We’re trying to be a scalpel here. And it’s not just, it’s not about being out with the old and in with the new. It’s about being out with the ineffective and in with the effective.

We have to show our base right now that we are doing everything we can to fight back against Donald Trump, and that includes holding ourselves accountable.

They don’t want to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth, which is that we have to dramatically change as a party, and what brought us here is not what’s going to get us out.
