David Hogg’s CAP spends millions for consultants, little for candidates

Despite the commitments to spending $ 20 million to support younger and more progressive candidates, a CAP led by Democrat David Hogg spent millions of dollars on political consultants, advertisements and even fitness lessons.

The CAP, the leaders we deserve, spent only $ 455,000 to support three candidates in difficult democratic primary races during the first eight months of 2025, Axios reported.

This figure contrasts with around $ 2.5 million spent on consultants, $ 1.1 million in digital advertisements, $ 965,000 for the construction of donor lists and nearly $ 5,000 on the Fitness Classpass subscription service, according to federal campaign depots.

“We offer a well-being service to our employees, like many employers across the country,” Kevin Lata, co-founder and executive director of the leaders we deserve, told Axios. “Our projections show that each $ 1 that we put in these investments will cost $ 3 to $ 5 by the end of the cycle. This helps to make sure that each donation goes further than it would do.”

The group had $ 1.6 million at the bank at the end of August. Fox News Digital contacted the CAP.

The leaders we deserve contributed to various candidates, including $ 300,000 to the New York town hall candidate, Zohran Mamdani.

The group also contributed $ 150,000 to the candidate for house Deja Foxx, an influencer of the 25 -year -old social media and a progressive activist who lost the primary of the special democratic elections of 39 percentage points on July 15.

Irene Shin, who lost a wide margin in a special democratic primary in June to fill the headquarters of the Chamber of Feu Gerry Connolly, D-VA., Also received $ 5,000.

In June, HOGG was vice-president of the National Democratic Committee, triggering a storm of fire by committing to pay $ 20 million through leaders that we deserve to support the main challenges against certain older Democrats in safe blue districts.

“I ran to be vice-president of the DNC to help improve the Democratic Party, and not to defend an indefensible status quo which made the voters of almost all demographic groups are moving away from us. The DNC is committed to withdraw me, and this vote provided an avenue to accelerate this effort,” said Hogg after the leadership places of the DNC.

The operating expenses high under his leadership were mocked by the New York State senator, James Skoufis, after the leaders, we deserve the second quarter of the FEC in June.

“At this rate, (HOGG) should only lift more than $ 3 billion in order to obtain its $ 20 million promised to primary candidates,” Skoufis wrote on X at the time. “It should be the story, the friends.”

LATA told Axios that the CAP will have “many more mentions to announce soon”.
