He later sat from 1980 to 1996 for the Conservative Party. He became deputy county mayor in 1984, and then county mayor in 1988. He lost the mayor post following the 1991 elections,^[1] but remained a county council member until 1995.^[2] He was not re-nominated at all, since the nomination committee prioritized Anne Margrethe Øvsthus on the ticket, and Fure refused to be placer lower than first place.^[3]
