FARGO, N.D. (KMOT) – Kathy Hogan, one of the leading Democratic voices in the North Dakota legislature and current Senate Minority Leader, will retire at the end of her term.
The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party announced in a release Thursday that Hogan would retire at the end of November.
Hogan was first appointed to the House for District 21 in 2009 and elected in 2010, serving through 2018.
Voters elected her to the state Senate in 2018, and she served as Minority Leader from 2023-26. Hogan served on the Senate Human Services Committee as well as Agriculture, Transportation and other interim committees.
The Dem-NPL called Hogan “a fierce advocate for the most vulnerable in our state, accountability and transparency in government, and support for local governments.”
