State Representative Ted Vogt is a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, serving this country for six years as an intelligence officer.   After the attacks of September 11, 2001, he served in Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, and throughout the greater Middle East in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.  Because of his outstanding performance, Ted was hand-picked to serve as the daily intelligence briefer for both the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force.  Leaving active duty in 2006, Ted returned home to Tucson and entered law school at the University of Arizona. 

While in law school, Ted remained heavily involved in Homeland and National Security matters.  During the summer of 2008, Ted worked on Homeland Security issues at the White House.  In 2009, Ted clerked for Senator Jon Kyl on the Senate Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security in Washington, D.C., as well as for the Criminal Division within the United States Attorney’s Office in Tucson.

Ted is active in the Arizona Republican Party.  He is a precinct committeeman and served as Legislative District 30 GOP Chairman prior to his appointment to the Arizona House of Representatives to fill the term of Frank Antenori who was appointed to the Arizona State Senate.

Prior to entering the Air Force in 2000, Ted spent time in the private sector as an investment banker and later as an advertising executive.  Ted earned a B.A. from Yale University in 1995 and his J.D. from the University of Arizona Law School in 2010.

On November 2, 2010, the voters of Legislative District 30 elected Ted to a full term in the Arizona House of Representatives.  In the 50th Legislature, Ted will serve as the Ethics Committee Chairman; Vice Chairman of Ways and Means Committee; and as a member of both the Judiciary Committee, as well as the Higher Education, Innovation & Reform Committee.
