Rigmor Aasrud (born 26 June 1960) is a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party. She has served as member of parliament for Oppland since 2009, having previously been a deputy member between 1993 and 2005. She has also served as the party's parliamentary leader since 2021 and also held several government positions during Jens Stoltenberg's premiership between 2005 and 2013.

Political career

Parliament

She was elected deputy representative to the Storting from Oppland at the 1993 election and held the position until 2005. She was elected as a regular representative following the 2009 election and has been re-elected since.

A day before Jonas Gahr Støre assumed office as prime minister following the 2021 election, Aasrud was elected the next parliamentary leader succeeding Støre, at a party group meeting. Terje Aasland was elected her deputy. When Aasland was appointed to government in March 2022, Åsmund Grøver Aukrust and Lene Vågslid took over as deputies.

In May 2024, she announced that she wouldn't be seeking re-election at the 2025 election.

Government

When the second cabinet Stoltenberg assumed office following the 2005 elections, Aasrud was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Care Services. On 20 October 2009, Aasrud was appointed Minister of Government Administration and Church Affairs. She was also acting minister of labour and social inclusion until December 2009, when Hanne Bjurstrøm officially assumed the position.

Local politics

From 1995 to 2005 Aasrud was mayor of Gran municipality. She had previously been a member of the municipality council from 1983 to 1991.

Personal life

Aasrud has one daughter and resides in Vestre Gran.
