Political career

Hogan served on the town council for Woodstock, New Brunswick[3] from 2010 until his election as MLA.

Hogan was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick at the 2020 New Brunswick general election[1] as a member of the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party.

On February 23, 2021, Hogan became the province's Minister of Public Safety.

On October 13, 2022, he became Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, replacing Dominic Cardy who resigned.[4]

In March of 2023, a former student at WHS while Hogan was principal wrote a letter to the River Valley Sun calling on Hogan to focus on student's mental health. The River Valley Sun had the letter issued in their monthly newspaper, however no response from Hogan came.

On June 8, 2023, Policy 713 was revised by Hogan and was announced to become effective starting July 1. The review has changed Policy 713 to forbid teachers in New Brunswick from using the preferred pronouns of students under the age of 16 without the consent of the student’s parents. The review has also removed any mentions of allowing students to participate in extracurricular activities that match their gender identity, including sports.
