We need to make sure that we&rsquo;re supporting our young people. That&rsquo;s just what I&rsquo;ve done.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>During his nominating speech, Hogg pointed to his activist roots as why he was running for vice chair. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;After Parkland, our country was in a similar moment where we had a Republican trifecta in Washington, and we as students were told it wasn&rsquo;t going to be possible for us to create change by many of the same pollsters, pundits, and consultants I&rsquo;ve heard you all complain about with me on the phone,&rdquo; Hogg said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But guess what? We didn&rsquo;t listen to them, and that&rsquo;s why we won,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;In a Republican state, we said we are going to take on the NRA. And guess what? We won. We raised the age to buy a gun in Florida to 21.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), a former <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">vice presidential candidate<\/a> for the Democrats last year, endorsed Hogg&rsquo;s campaign as did Rep.
