WEDC CEO Mark Hogan Steps Down

Frederica Freyberg:

Now for this update on a job transition for a Walker administration agency head who had continued to serve under Governor Tony Evers. Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation CEO and Secretary Mark Hogan will step down next week. Under lame duck laws, Evers was not authorized to appoint his replacement until September. Hogan says he is proud of the successes achieved with Governor Evers and that he wants to help make the transition as seamless as possible. During Hogan’s four-year tenure, he became instrumental in securing the Foxconn deal. Evers is now considering Hogan’s successor.
