A few months into his third term, however, he resigned as district attorney to accept a position as special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

That same year, he attempted a run for United States House of Representatives in Wisconsin's 9th congressional district.
Following his confirmation in March, Wisconsin Governor Warren P. Knowles chose Judge Hansen as Gordon's successor on the state's highest court.
