Political career
editHogan 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.
Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development (2022–2024)
editOn October 13, 2022, Hogan became Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, replacing Dominic Cardy who resigned.[4]
In March 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.[citation needed]
In May 2023, the Hogan-led department announced that it was placing Policy 713 under review due to "concerns and misunderstandings of its implementation".[5] Hogan stated that there were "hundreds of complaints from parents and teachers" but did not provide evidence or details for the claim,[6] and its veracity was questioned by critics.[7] On May 16, New Brunswick Child, Youth and Seniors' Advocate Kelly Lamrock published a 21-page report stating that his office had discovered three complaints,[8] zero being made by either teachers or students.[9] In late July, a freedom of information request filed by a University of New Brunswick professor found that the province had received no written complaints from parents claiming they were not told about changes in their child's name or pronouns.[10][11]
