Tore Onshuus Sandvik (born 31 August 1969) is a Norwegian politician. Between 2003 and 2023, he served as the Chairman of the County Council of Sør-Trøndelag until 2018, and Trøndelag until 2023.[1]
Political career[edit]
Youth league[edit]
As a young adult, Sandvik served as the County Youth Secretary in the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions and later Vice President of ETUC Youth.
State Secretary[edit]
In 2001 he was appointed State Secretary of the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry. He was re-appointed in November 2023 following his departure as chairman of the county council.[2]
Chairman of the Trøndelag County Council[edit]
Before he was elected County Mayor in 2003 he also worked as a project director for Extend. He was reelected in the 2007, 2011 and 2015 elections. When Nord and Sør-Trøndelag merged in 2018, he continued as county mayor for the new county before winning another term in the 2019 local elections.[3] In 2022, Sandvik announced that he would not seek re-election in the 2023 local elections. The Trøndelag Labour Party chose Per Olav Skurdal Hopsø as their candidate for county mayor.[4]
After the 2023 local elections, Labour's coalition partner the Centre Party joined the conservative block in order to get the county mayor position, thereby putting an end to Sandvik's term.[5] He was succeeded by Tomas Iver Hallem on 18 October 2023.[6]
Personal life[edit]
Sandvik grew up in the borough of Kolstad in Trondheim.
