On July 16, 2009, Hann officially announced his candidacy for governor of Minnesota.[3][4] After statewide polling during and after the 2010 caucuses showed him trailing other contenders, he withdrew from the race on February 16, 2010, opting to focus on reelection to the Senate.[5]

Hann served as assistant majority leader in the Senate from January through December 2011.[6] He is chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, and also serves on the Education and Finance committees. He was an assistant minority leader from 2007 to 2009.[7] His special legislative concerns include education, education reform, taxes, tax relief, business, improved business climate, family law, and agriculture.[1]

Hann is a business process consultant. He was previously the Director of Forecasting and Logistics for E.A. Sween Company, also known as Deli Express, in Eden Prairie.[8] He attended Lincoln High School in Bloomington, then served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He attended Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, earning a B.A. in Religion, and took graduate studies in Theology at the University of Chicago.[1][8]

Hann is a former member and treasurer of the Eden Prairie School Board. He is a member of the board of directors of the Hiawatha Leadership Academy, and is president of Parents for Accountable Schools.[8]
