Representative Kate Hogan is in her seventh term as State Representative for the Third Middlesex District. Recently named Speaker Pro Tempore, a member of Speaker Mariano’s Leadership team, she works as a bridge between House leadership and members to tackle the state’s biggest issues. In past terms, Representative Hogan served as House Division Leader, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Health and a co-chair of the Elder Caucus, where she was instrumental in shepherding landmark public health legislation into law.
From the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, our shelter, recreation and more, our environment is our most critical resource. Rep. Hogan is committed to caring for, and preserving natural resources, and ensuring that we effectively adapt to climate change and build resiliency for the future. She proudly supports progressive and practical clean energy policy in Massachusetts, including the Massachusetts Climate Roadmap bill that she co-sponsored and was signed into law in 2021 and a successive bill advancing offshore wind and clean energy that was passed by the legislature in 2022. Rep. Hogan consistently advocates and delivers state support and funding for local water infrastructure and environmental projects and innovative uses for community preservation efforts.
The importance of ensuring climate resiliency and sustainability informs Rep. Hogan’s work on PFAS, Agriculture and other initiatives, as well.
