Join American Public Square for a conversation with former co-vice chair of the DNC and Leaders We Deserve PAC founder David Hogg.    Where does the Democratic party go from here? After the 2024 election defeat, many voices have tried to fill the vacuum around conversations about the future of the Democratic party, but few have been as visible as David Hogg. From his time as co-vice chair at the DNC to founding his own PAC to support younger Democratic candidates, Hogg has been a critical part of the conversation in 2025. Hogg’s background as a survivor of the Parkland School shooting and outspoken commonsense gun reform activist have made him one of the most visible Gen Z leaders during the Trump era.
