Could PA state rep be swept up in a DNC move to oust David Hogg from leadership?
Two percent and RLA audits are “statistical proof” of fair, safe and accurate election
42 of the state’s 67 counties have indicated that their election results are official/certified.
Turned out that “Every County, Every Vote” was not just a campaign slogan.
Governor Tom Wolf will start the two year battle for a second term with $1.7 million in his war chest.
Could Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta be swept up in a DNC move to oust David Hogg?
The Democratic National Committee is moving forward with a challenge to the 25-year-old Parkland school shooting survivor’s election as a vice chair and the Philadelphia representative’s election would be voided as well.
The DNC says it is a procedural squabble, but Hogg and Kenyatta say otherwise. The committee’s credentials committee voted 13-2 to void the February elections of the pair and the resolution will now go to a full vote of DNC members. Should the resolution pass, a new election for the two vice chair roles would be held.
“I am disappointed to learn that before I became Chair, there was a procedural error in the February Vice Chair elections,” DNC chair Ken Martin said in a statement following the vote. “The Credentials Committee has issued their recommendation, and I trust that the DNC Members will carefully review the Committee’s resolution and resolve this matter fairly.”
Hogg has been under fire for his plan to spend $20 million trying to oust older Democratic members of Congress in primaries through his PAC, Leaders We Deserve. He has described a “culture of seniority politics” that has made the Democratic Party less effective, drawing criticism from party leaders.
Kalyn Free, a losing candidate in the February vote from Oklahoma, has alleged that Hogg and Kenyatta were elected under a flawed tabulation process. Her complaint was filed well before Hogg’s challenge, citing gender inequity and a “fatally flawed result. The purpose of this challenge is to address the fundamentally flawed election and the unfair results that prevented three women of color from being considered by the members on the third ballot.”
Kenyatta tweeted that “I disagree with the ruling, but ultimately the committee voted and I respect their votes — even when I really disagree.”
100 Days ago I was elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC with 298 votes well above the 201.5 threshold to win.
David Hogg received only 214.5
Today the DNC credentials committee heard a (complex challenge) to this election and voted for a new one to be held.
I have thoughts:
— Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (@malcolmkenyatta) May 13, 2025
The North Philadelphia native says that while the attention is focused on Hogg, many are unaware of what Kenyatta has done for the party during his time as vice chair.
“I’ve consistently done the hard and unglamorous work to change this party, which I was elected to do with no fan fare and no pay,” his tweet read.
“100 Days ago I was elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC with 298 votes well above the 201.5 threshold to win. David Hogg received only 214.5. The credentials committee believed, as they stated, that they are remedying a procedural flaw. But doing so the way they did, is a slap in my face. It is unfortunate as I believe we both won fairly & there is no charge that we acted improperly.
“This story is complex and I’m frustrated— but it’s not about @davidhogg111. Even though he clearly wants it to be.”
“What is also clear, and which the challengers can’t refute, is that Vice Chair Kenyatta won his election fair and square,” Mohammed Tazbir Alam, Kenyatta’s counsel, said during the meeting. “No amount of numerical analysis of the votes cast can show otherwise.”
The 34-year-old Kenyatta wrote that he has traveled nearly 20,000 miles for more than 30 events in eight states as benchmarks of his work.
“So yes, I’m pissed that this challenge was successful, especially when I won in such a resounding way.”
In reaction to Monday’s vote, Hogg argued it’s “impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote. The DNC has pledged to remove me,” wrote Hogg. “This vote has provided an avenue to fast track that effort.”
Martin could decide to hold a virtual vote prior to the committee’s late summer meeting or wait to take up the issue during its August get-together.
