Dennis Hogan Running for Re-Election

Dennis Hogan, Hillsborough County Attorney, announced his campaign for reelection when he filed with the Secretary of State on June 6, 2012.  Hogan has presided over a six percent reduction in the County Attorney’s budget and an significant increase in felony cases. 

“We have handled the increase in cases per prosecutor by attracting superior talent” Hogan said.  “As the head of the agency, I don’t concern myself with taking credit.  There is plenty of credit to go round when the job is getting done right, and the job is getting done right.”   

Hogan first won election to the office of Hillsborough County Attorney in 2010 when he received 53 percent in a three-person contest. Ward 2 in Nashua elected Hogan as Delegate to NH's 17th and last Constitutional Convention in 1984. He also represented Ward 2 in the NH Legislature after the 1984 election.
