David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic, and courageous leadership the Democratic Party needs right now, Walz said in a statement.
After campaigning with David throughout the country, I know firsthand his unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party, he continued.
This is exactly what we need right now: experienced, thoughtful, and energized leadership that meets people where they are and takes bold action to win. I couldnt be happier to throw my support behind him and his vision for the party, and I look forward to working with him every step of the way.

(2,118 posts)but I believe the Stoneman massacre has adequately formed his political opinons. I'm really not going to worry about what political influence his parents gave him in his childhood.
He is brilliant and a rising star. What he has done at his age is amazing. Let's benefit from his young passion and drive and give him the experience to rise into Democratic leadership. We need people like him, he is motivated and dedicated.

(2,118 posts)Have you been tracking what he has done at a very young age?
I would put this in the category of "Don't support Jack Kennedy because he's too inexperienced and too young" and "Lincoln and Obama don't have enough years in Congress." True, but try to replace their genius. We need the best talent and we need to support it and develop it right away.

(7,086 posts)....... world they will mold. We had our chance and now let's give them their chance. In less than two weeks from now a CONVICTED FELON will be sitting in the White House.
We can keep telling them the OLD guard knows what needs to be down. How is that been working out. Not well IMHO. One or two more SCOTUS (R) will lock THEM out for the next 40 years.
Hogg, AOC and others of that generation have my support. They should have a chance to mold it their way.

I worry for you almost every time I read one of your posts. I hope you don't have high blood pressure.

I'd like to know more about Ken Martin...
In Minnesota, Ken has built a national model for how to elect Democrats in a competitive state, Walz said in a statement released through Martins team to The New York Times. I have seen Kens leadership in action, and its exactly what we need from our next D.N.C. chair.

(65 posts)I'm 74 and I believe the party needs young talented people. Too many politicians have turned six year terms in office into life-long careers and have made the party stagnate. Time to get into the 21st century.
