David Hogg, the Parkland, Fla., shooting survivor who has become an outspoken gun control activist, says hes running for Congress when hes 25.

The 18-year-old told New York Magazine in an interview published Monday that he already has plans to run as soon as he is eligible to be a congressman.

I think Ive come to that conclusion, he said. I want to be at least part of the change in Congress.

Hogg rose to prominence after the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. He hid in a dark classroom and recorded his friends' testimonies as a gunman killed 17 people.

The teenager became an unofficial spokesperson for his fellow classmates, making several television appearances in the days after the shooting.

Hogg and fellow student Emma Gonzalez became such prominent voices of the gun control movement that Infowars, Breitbart and other far-right media sites began pushing conspiracy theories and comparing them to Adolf Hitler.

Parkland students organized the March for Our Lives rally in March that attracted thousands of anti-gun violence protests to Washington, D.C.

March for Our Lives then launched a nationwide get-out-the-vote 59-day summer bus tour.

The amount of suffering Ive seen is beyond belief, Hogg said. The amount of inequality is beyond belief

Some kid who got famous after the Parkland Florida school shooting. Some say he wasn't even at school that day. But he's really annoying. I'm not even all that big on gun rights but he annoys me.

I completely support his decision. We need more lolcow politicians who know nothing about guns yet make their entire platform about guns anyway. They make for hilarious fail compilations on youtube.

It's a combination of a mis-represented quote and the fact that IIRC there was another student activist students after the shooting who actually wasn't at the school that day, but she was quickly ignored:
https://www.factcheck.org/2018/04/david-hogg-at-school-during-parkland-shooting/
The allegations are based on an out-of-context quote from Hogg. In a CBS News documentary, the 17-year-old said: On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.

Interviews and videos published in the days after the shooting support Hoggs narrative that he was at the school when the shooter opened fire and that Hogg went home at some point and returned to the scene later that night.

Most people get rejections to the colleges they apply for. There is a reason why everyone who applies for college applies for more than one.

did you hear that from laura ingraham? because she made it up

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/09/us/david-hogg-parkland-year-off-trnd/index.html

David Hogg has been accepted at the University of California, Irvine, "but he will not be going to college this year because he's decided to take a year off and work on the midterm elections," his mother, Rebecca Boldrick, told CNN Monday.

Didn't stop conspiracy nutbags completely trashing and alleging everything under the sun about the kid up to and including that he was a plant by the FBI to stir up tensions to "take our guns", as well as harassing his family from a barrage of people including Roseanne Barr.

Anyway good for him, there's nothing wrong with younger people getting involved more with politics at every level. We need more people voting and running for offices from every age group across the country

He got accepted letters from 3 out of 4 he applied to.
Instead of just accepting it he decided to be a bitch to the one that rejected him very openly on twitter and actual news sites.
