The same day, 25-year-old Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chairman and anti-gun activist David Hogg announced that his group, Leaders We Deserve, will commit a $20 million initiative to target “ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel” Democratic incumbents in deep-blue seats by supporting younger primary challengers.
