David Hogg here with Leaders We Deserve. Our organization is dedicated to electing Gen Z leaders and putting more young people in office. I’ve got some good and bad news.

The bad news is we missed our October fundraising goal. We didn’t raise what we needed to, and we’re starting November with a budget deficit.

The good news is we’re not going to cut our planned spending. It was a tough decision to move forward with our original plan, and we’re counting on you to help us make up the gap.

If you’re able, you can use this link to chip in: teamlwd.com/20241101-b

It’s thanks to folks like you that I know I won’t regret this decision.

A large salary, indeed. It looks to be three times the salary Nixie Apr 2025 #68

Like "If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire too" -- also complaining about Democrats! betsuni Apr 2025 #69

I just got a text $$$ solicitation from Hogg and that was the Nixie Apr 2025 #75

I have receive the same text and several Hogg emails LetMyPeopleVote Apr 2025 #99

Sad is a great word for it. He sounds so unprofessional and Nixie Apr 2025 #112

His emails and texts remind me of the Justice Democrats emails and texts LetMyPeopleVote Apr 2025 #113

Agreed with everything you say. It's been 10 years of this Nixie Apr 2025 #122

Waste of ten years fighting an imaginary enemy and wallowing in cynicism and negativity. betsuni Apr 2025 #129

I am not sure what the salary is for house and senate etc. it could be similar for some Meowmee Apr 2025 #70

I think Congressional reps salaries are right around $175,000/yr. Nixie Apr 2025 #76

Where did you see 600k? Meowmee Apr 2025 #78

It was in a string of tweets posted here. It also had a link to Nixie Apr 2025 #79

I'll tell you what's wrong. Primarying sitting Dems with another Dem doesn't get us... brush Apr 2025 #6

Refusing to do so gets the 2024 results iemanja Apr 2025 #15

It's not that hard to understand. Subbing one Dem for annother gets us 2024 all over again. brush Apr 2025 #16

Approval of Democrats is at an all-time low iemanja Apr 2025 #17

Again, replacing Dems with other Dems does not gain the majority. brush Apr 2025 #18

Is your point that it's a lost cause? iemanja Apr 2025 #21

A huge disappointment. The messaging is what the GOP eats up Nixie Apr 2025 #50

So true. brush Apr 2025 #58

And then said the election was rigged. Sigh. It's "GroundHogg Day" forever. betsuni Apr 2025 #81

I disagree sboatcar Apr 2025 #53

Disagree all you want, but getting the majority is the priority or trump will continue... brush Apr 2025 #57

Again, not complicated. Why not use that money to fund Dem candidates. brush Apr 2025 #86

Bob Menendez was a proven winner. Buzz cook Apr 2025 #88

So what, he was a crook. A Dem replaced him. Zing! Missed the point. Melendez was in the Senate. brush Apr 2025 #90

A democrat replaced a democrat. Buzz cook Apr 2025 #108

How does a 200k salary compre to other PACs? Buzz cook Apr 2025 #83

The issue is that only 2% of the funds donated to the PAC actually go to those it claims to be supporting MichMan Apr 2025 #94

Still doesn't tell me what Back Seat is. Buzz cook Apr 2025 #107

Where do you see only 2%. I see 27.8% given to contributions to federal, state, national and local candidates, Nanjeanne Apr 29 #145

looks like David Hogg is making out too, he gets DNC pay too. brush Apr 2025 #128

It's always disheartening to watch Torchlight Apr 2025 #125

On top of his DNC salary? Looks like vice-chair Hogg is cleaning up and using DNC's name and resources at the same time. brush Apr 2025 #127

I'm confused - where are people seeing David Hogg's actual salary. Because all I can see in this tweet is some Nanjeanne Apr 2025 #131

FEC site has disbursement details MichMan Apr 29 #150

Thanks. So 2024 was a bit over $128,000. From the OP I thought the salary was outrageous. Thanks for Nanjeanne Apr 29 #151

OP said "a six figure salary" MichMan Apr 29 #155

Ah yes so true. I just thought it would be high based on the outrage. Nanjeanne Apr 29 #156
