Biography

edit

Strøm ran for parliament for the first time and was elected to parliament in the elections on 31 August 2019. She received 543 personal votes and became second in parliament for the Social Democratic Party, just behind Aksel V. Johannesen.[2] Strøm was the woman who received the most personal votes in the election and she was the only woman elected to the Løgting for the Social Democratic Party.[3] Her core goals are, among other things, to put the environment at the highest level, to improve care work and not least to ensure strong social systems, where no one can fall apart.[4]

Strøm comes from a red Social Democratic home in Vestmanna, where political interest and a sense of responsibility for the outside world have been a large part of her upbringing and life as a whole. She is the daughter of Faroese politician Hans Paula Strøm and Gyðja Hjalmarsdóttir Didriksen. After living and working in Addis Ababa, Copenhagen and everywhere in between, Strøm moved with her husband Teitur Lassen and son home to Faroe Islands and took a degree in Faroese at the Icelandic Academy of Sciences.[5] She married Lassen in 2016.[6]
