Hogan was formerly the executive director of the Alberta Liberal Party. Ahead of the 2015 federal election he was the riding president for Calgary Confederation and helped to secure Liberal candidate Matt Grant's nomination who came second to Len Webber. By 2016 Hogan was in Alberta's civil service as deputy minister under premiers Rachel Notley of the Alberta New Democratic Party and Jason Kenney of the United Conservative Party, working as head of government communications.{{Cite news |last=Appel |first=Jeremy |date=April 3, 2025 |title=Liberal Star Candidate Helped Shut Down Pro-Palestine Encampment |url=https://www.readthemaple.com/liberal-star-candidate-helped-shut-down-pro-palestine-encampment/ |access-date=May 1, 2025 |work=The Maple}} He left that role in 2020, shortly after the UCP won the 2019 Alberta general election and joined the University of Calgary as Senior Associate Vice President of Communications. Hogan was promoted to Vice President of Communications and Community Engagement in 2024. After leaving his political roles, Hogan was co-host on a Canadian political podcast called The Strategists.
Federal politics
Hogan became the Liberal Party of Canada candidate in Calgary Confederation on April 1, 2025, after the previous candidate, Thomas Keeper, was deselected for failing to disclose an old domestic assault charge to the party. Hogan defeated Conservative candidate Jeremy Nixon in the election that year. He was the only Liberal elected in Calgary and one of two Alberta Liberal MPs in the 45th Canadian Parliament.{{Cite news |last=Graveland |first=Bill |date=April 29, 2025 |title=MP-elect Corey Hogan hoped for more Liberals in Calgary |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/corey-hogan-liberal-calgary-1.7522096 |access-date=May 1, 2025 |work=CBC News |agency=The Canadian Press}}{{Cite news |last=Ranger |first=Michael |date=April 28, 2025 |title=Alberta remains Conservative stronghold; Tories hold off Liberal gains |url=https://calgary.citynews.ca/2025/04/28/alberta-federal-election-conservative-liberal-seats/ |access-date=May 1, 2025 |work=CityNews}}

In April 2025, Hogan said that he supported a two-state solution for the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and a "durable ceasefire" in the Gaza war. He declined to call Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide, pending the International Court of Justice ruling in South Africa's genocide case against Israel, but described the situation as "horrific". Hogan defended his role in the University of Calgary's decision to dismantle a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus using tactical police as purely being in his communications capacity, saying that his role did not have decision-making authority.
