Leaders We Deserve, the PAC founded by Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg, is facing criticism from Democratic campaigns over alleged broken funding promises. Multiple campaigns endorsed by the group have complained that the PAC dangled hopes of financial commitments that never materialized after primary losses.
The controversy involves two prominent cases. Virginia state delegate Irene Shin's campaign was reportedly promised $400,000 for a House special election, while Illinois state senator Robert Peters was allegedly told the group would spend $1 million on his behalf in a primary to succeed Rep. Robin Kelly.
