Before being elected to public office, he was a truck driver for the City of Green Bay as well as a school teacher^[1]

Hansen served on the Board of Supervisors for Brown County from 1996 to 2002. In November 2000, he was elected to the state senate and was re-elected in 2004.

Hansen has served as the Assistant Democratic Minority Leader for the Wisconsin State Senate since 2003.

Senator Hansen is up for re-election in 2008. He will face a tough race to hold his seat for the Democrats who hold an 18-15 majority in the State Senate. Two of the three assembly districts in the 30th Senate District are under the control of Republicans, and the third has only been a Democratic district since 2006.
