AZ-07: Hogg's political group backs Gen Z influencer (D) for open Arizona House seat [View all]
Leaders We Deserve, a political group founded by David Hogg and Kevin Lata, announced on Wednesday that it would be supporting Gen Z influencer Deja Foxx, who’s running to succeed the late Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.).
A special election to fill the remainder of his term is set for September, with a primary on July 15.
“Deja Foxx has been holding Republicans’ and career politicians’ feet to the fire since she was 15 years old. She’s an organizer who has carved her own path after experiencing homelessness and working at a gas station — and she is ready to fight for Tuscon, her hometown,” Hogg said in a statement.
Hogg noted, too, that she “stood up to Arizona’s former Republican Senator Jeff Flake” – referring to an exchange she had with Flake when she was 16 years old that later went viral in which she pressed him on reproductive care access.
