Born in New York City, Hogan attended both parochial and public schools. He served as a member of the Thirteenth Regiment, New York National Guard from 1889 to 1898 and was then elected to the board of aldermen of New York City 1914-1920.

He declined renomination and was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-seventh Congress (March 4, 1921-March 3, 1923). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1922 to the Sixty-eighth Congress. He served as delegate to the Republican State conventions in 1914, 1918, 1920, 1922, 1924, and 1926.

He engaged in the management of transportation business in New York City. In 1935, he was convicted of bribery and sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison. The bribery occurred after Hogan left office, while Hogan was a clerk to the Collector of the Port.[1][2][3][4]

He died in Rockville Centre, New York, May 7, 1940 and was interred in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.
