Steve Hogan

Stephen Douglas Hogan (May 31, 1948 – May 13, 2018) was an American politician who served as the mayor of Aurora, Colorado, from November 2011 until his death in May 2018.

[8] Swigert emerged victorious, but died from cancer before he could assume office, and Hogan once more represented the Democrats in the 1983 special election that followed.

He ran on a campaign criticizing the economic and defense policies of President Ronald Reagan, whilst advocating higher taxes to reduce the federal deficit, and lost to Republican state senator Dan Schaefer.

[10][11] In the 6-person race, Hogan was seen as the establishment candidate, enjoying bipartisan support, including from the local branch of the AFL–CIO, and won the November election with 37% of the vote.

[7] An extension of East 6th Avenue from SH 30 to just west of the 6th Parkway/E-470 interchange that opened on September 26, 2019 was named “Stephen D. Hogan Parkway” in his honor.
