- Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Doris (also known as Dori) Hanson went to University of Wisconsin-Madison. Governor Tony Earl appointed Hanson to be Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Administration. She was the first woman to hold this appointment. While Hanson never formally came out, she was known in higher professional women's circles as a lesbian who had a partner. When her partner, Ursula Schmidt, was killed in a car crash in 1993, the obituary acknowledged their relationship. Hanson served in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1993, 1995, and 1997.
