Career

Jenssen was a local politician in Trondheim for a long time and served as political adviser to mayor Marvin Wiseth.[1] He was State Secretary for Erna Solberg in the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development from 2003 to 2005. He was the Conservative Party's candidate for mayor in Trondheim in the municipalities elections in 2003 and 2007, but the Labour Party with Rita Ottervik got the position of mayor both times.[2]

He began working in a communication company in 2008 and subsequently became Director of Communication in the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority.[3]

In the 2013 Norwegian parliamentary election, he was nominated in second spot on the Sør-Trøndelag Conservative Party ballot[4] and got elected as representative number 5 from Sør-Trøndelag. He was a member of the Standing Committee on Local Government and Public Administration.

In 2018, he became the first County Governor of the new Trøndelag county.
