Few realize that one of Islamic communist Zohran Mamdani’s largest backers was a little-known PAC called “Leaders We Deserve,” spearheaded by leftist, anti-gun antagonist David Hogg and Kevin Lata, Rep. Maxwell Frost’s (D-FL) former campaign manager.
Few realize that one of Islamic communist Zohran Mamdani’s largest backers was a little-known PAC called “Leaders We Deserve,” spearheaded by leftist, anti-gun antagonist David Hogg and Kevin Lata, Rep. Maxwell Frost’s (D-FL) former campaign manager.
Hogg takes communism up a notch..
Touted on their site “as a grassroots organization dedicated to electing young progressives to Congress and State Legislatures across the country to help defeat the far-right agenda and advance a progressive vision for the future,” it appears to be a communist organization that is recruiting young voters to further Marxism.
…
The group is being advised by Democrats, such as Frost, Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Lauren Underwood (D-IL), and Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones. Jones was briefly expelled from his state legislature for leading a protest on the House floor in favor of gun control. The PAC has pledged to spend millions to oust Democratic incumbents it considers ineffective.
All-in for Mamdani in New York City..
Hogg’s PAC was the top donor to one of the leading outside groups backing Mamdani in New York City, according to NBC News, just as CAIR was.
“Leaders We Deserve” endorsed Mamdani ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
“We are here talking to voters on the third day of early voting,” Democratic Socialist Mamdani stated in a video on X after Mamdani and Hogg introduced themselves. “And we’re so excited to let them know that our campaign has just been endorsed by Leaders We Deserve.”
“We’re really excited to support the campaign here to help make New York City affordable, help make sure that buses are faster and free at the same time, and that no New Yorker has to pay for childcare,” Hogg proclaimed in the video, spouting sheer communist talking points.
Mamdani and Hogg appeared to be thick as thieves, with the New York City Democratic mayoral candidate posing with Hogg during his campaign.
Hogg’s first endorsement since getting the boot at the DNC..
Hogg’s endorsement of Mamdani (who is a Shia Muslim Twelver) is his first one since getting drummed out as Democratic National Committee Chairman, according to The Hill.
According to CNN, “Hogg was at Mamdani’s Election Night party Tuesday. So was Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of the party’s most recent presidential nominee, former Vice President Kamala Harris.”

It was a little surreal to see Kal Penn, Ella Emhoff, David Hogg, Anand Giridharadas, Kareem Rahma, Lina Kahn, Zephyr Teachout, and Cynthia Nixon, to name a few, all in the same room. These aren’t A-list movie stars (sorry, Kal) or former presidents, but they are prominent members of the left-of-center firmament, who are capable of marshalling millions of eyeballs to a cause—in this case, getting Mamdani elected and overturning the establishment, and the candidate it spent tens of millions of dollars to get elected.
Financing Marxists through “Leaders We Deserve”..
It’s interesting to note that “Leaders We Deserve” raised $11,900,077 in the 2023-24 cycle and spent $10,974,173, according to OpenSecrets. That was their first year in existence, and they started out with $0 on hand. That’s a lot of money raised out of nowhere for a new group.
Out of all that money, only $12,600 went to federal candidates. Sarah McBride (D-DE) received $6,000, Maxwell Frost (D-FL) received $3,300, and Katrina Shankland (D-WI) received $3,300.
The PAC also donated to the following:
Ban Assault Weapons Now PAC — $24,000
Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC — $10,000
Latino Victory Fund — $5,000
Committee for Hispanic Causes – BOLD PAC — $5,000
Democratic Executive Cmte of Florida — $5,000
Democratic Party of Nebraska — $5,000
A Love Supreme PAC (Affiliate: Maxwell Frost (D-FL) — $3,300
Democratic Party of Texas — $2,500
PACS/Party Committees that contributed to “Leaders We Deserve” included:
Ban Assault Weapons Now PAC — $31,500 House Majority PAC — $25,000
Democratic Victory PAC — $10,000
Women for American Values & Ethics — $6,250
Democratic Women of the South Orange County — $1,000
According to OpenSecrets, Individual donors gave 4,167 large ($200+) contributions to the PAC in the 2023-2024 election cycle.
Although it is hard to tell if an individual is connected to a shadowy group, some of those are interesting. Barbara Weitz, who appears to be part of the Board of Regents for the University of Nebraska System, donated $250,000. The WELLNESS ADVOCACY FUND donated $200,000. Ronald Conway of SVA (an angel investor) also donated $400,000. The amounts descend from there.
Expenditures for the PAC can be found here, which does show the PAC contributed $1,605,024 to state and local candidates, $740,000 to state and local parties, and $44,800 to committees.
Unsurprisingly, Act Blue, which is under congressional scrutiny right now, collects donations for “Leaders We Deserve.”
Hogg has BIG plans..
Hogg has announced his group will spend $20 million to elect young progressive leaders such as Mamdani.
“It’s gonna be a fun next couple years,” the 26-year-old gun control activist wrote on X, according to The Hill.
That’s one way to put it, as New York City is poised to slide into a communist hellhole of Democrats’ making.
Hogg also wrote, “Cuomo. Is. Cooked.” And added, “And so is the establishment that brought us here.”
It isn’t clear where Hogg’s PAC is getting all its funding, but the shadowy group is certainly using it to full effect, and it is connected to the anti-gun movement.
Mamdani is the first of many Democratic Socialists who will now be pushed into higher positions of power as they look to refashion the Republic into a Marxist utopia. His radical family background and ties speak for themselves.
Many have laughed at Hogg over the years on both sides of the political aisle. It turns out he’s much more dangerous than many thought he was.
