Tore Onshuus Sandvik (born 31 August 1969) is a Norwegian politician. Since 2018, he has been Chairman of the County Council of Trøndelag.[1]

Biography

Sandvik grew up at Kolstad in Trondheim and was as a young adult County Youth Secretary in the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions and later Vice President of ETUC Youth.

In 2001 he was appointed State Secretary of the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry.

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. 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.[2]

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.[3]
