Anders John Aune

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anders John Aune (born 1 May 1923 in Stjørna) is a retired Norwegian politician.

Originally a member of the Labour Party, Aune was elected to the Norwegian Parliament from Finnmark in 1969, but was not re-elected in 1973. He was a member of Vadsø municipality council from 1951 to 1963, serving as deputy mayor in 1951–1952 and mayor in 1953–1955 and 1955–1959. His career in politics was scheduled to end with the post of County Governor of Finnmark, which he held from 1974 to 1989 (having formerly been the acting County Governor from 1963 to 1965).

However, in 1989 Aune stood for election for another party, a new party led by himself and called Framtid for Finnmark (Future For Finnmark). He was elected to the national parliament for this regional protest party, but again sat only one term.

Outside of politics, he had graduated from the University of Oslo as cand.jur. in 1948 and worked as a civil servant.
