Janson Theodore "Ted" Vogt (born February 20, 1973) is a former Arizona State Representative and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Arizona Corporation Commission. Prior to serving as Executive Director, Vogt served as Chief of Operations for Governor of Arizona Doug Ducey and later as the Director of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs for Traversant Group.
On June 11, 2013, Governor Janice K. Brewer appointed Vogt to be the Director of the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services. He assumed office on July 1, 2013 and was confirmed unanimously by the Arizona State Senate on January 30, 2014.
Vogt was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, when his family moved there in 1974. He was an Eagle Scout. He graduated from Judge Memorial Catholic High School in 1991 and received a B.A. in History from Yale University in 1995. He was a substitute teacher for a short time in Salt Lake City. From 1995 until he entered the United States Air Force in 2000, Vogt spent time chiefly in the private sector as an investment banker in the New York metropolitan area, advertising executive at Leo Burnett in Chicago, (beginning during the U.S. presidential election, 1996) executive assistant to then-former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and at night a member of The Second City comedy troupe (1997–2000).
