Florida Democrats will fight DNC effort to remove David Hogg as Vice Chair [View all]

Key Florida Democrats will oppose the removal of David Hogg as Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

A release from the Florida Democratic Party announced that eight delegates to the DNC representing Florida, including FDP Chair Nikki Fried, intend to vote against resolutions removing both Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta of Pennsylvania, who both won Vice Chair posts in February.

“The results of the DNC Vice Chair elections were clear, and the will of the voters should be respected,” Fried said.

“The Democratic National Committee has been in desperate need of young, innovative leadership, and David and Malcolm have worked to meet that need since day one. Tossing them out of office is unfair to them and an insult to the members they inspired to vote for them — members who adopted these rules themselves. A majority of Florida’s delegation will vote no on this resolution. We have work to do, and this isn’t it.”
