Timeline

1962

Marit Arnstad (born 4 May 1962) is a Norwegian lawyer and politician for the Centre Party.

1993

She held various jobs and offices before entering politics on a national level in 1993.

In 1993, she was elected to the Storting and sat as a representative for the Centre Party until 1997.

1997

Arnstad served as minister of petroleum and energy from 1997 to 2000 under Kjell Magne Bondevik.

Following the 1997 election, she took a seat in Kjell Magne Bondevik's first Cabinet as Minister of Petroleum and Energy on 17 October 1997.

1999

She also has a son, August Arnstad (born 1999).

Arnstad took parental leave in 1999 as her son was born.

During this time, Anne Enger Lahnstein was acting minister.

2000

She left the post on 17 March 2000 when the government resigned over the issue of gas power stations, and was succeeded by Olav Akselsen.

2001

In 2001 she was once again elected to the Storting, where she sat until 2005.

She reasoned that she wanted to seek a job outside of politics and focus her attention on raising her son.

2003

Within the Centre Party, she notably served as its parliamentary leader from 2003 to 2005.

2005

She was preferred for the top spot over Lars Peder Brekk who had the position in 2005.

After the election of 2005, she was mentioned by many as a possible minister in the new government that included the Centre Party, but Arnstad did not become a minister at that time.

Following the 2021 election, she was mentioned as a strong favorite to become minister of finance.

2012

Arnstad was the Norwegian Minister of Transport from 2012 to 2013 and Minister of Petroleum and Energy from 1997 to 2000.

Arnstad was born in Stjørdal, and is the daughter of tax assessor and farmer Arne Arnstad and nurse Aasta Auran, and twin sister of Eli Arnstad.

She is also the sister-in-law of Iwar Arnstad, and cousin of Ellen Arnstad.

The Arnstad family from Arnstad vestre at Skatval has fostered several Centre Party politicians since the interwar period.

She later served as minister of transport from 2012 to 2013 under Jens Stoltenberg.

Following a cabinet reshuffle on 18 June 2012, Arnstad was appointed Minister of Transport in Stoltenberg's Second Cabinet.

In August 2012, Arnstad expressed concerns over a new practise that was used at the border between Norway and Sweden, where truck drivers had been stopped and told that there trucks couldn't carry more than 40 tons.

She wrote to the Swedish Minister for Infrastructure Catharina Elmsäter-Svärd with these concerns.

Elmsäter-Svärd stressed the importance of continued transport over the border, but didn't comment on the case Arnstad was referring to.

In October, Arnstad expressed that the new Follo rail line would be a demanding project after the cost of it increased to 23,5 billion NOK.

In addition she believed that the costs wouldn't surpass 23,5 billion NOK, and added that it shouldn't sink below it either.

She further expressed confidence that the line would eventually be built.

In December, Arnstad expressed that high-speed rail was not a priority, saying that other tasks within transportation was more important.

She did however support the importance of railway transport.

2013

She was nominated at the top spot on the Centre Party ballot in Nord-Trøndelag for the 2013 election, which is considered a safe seat.

She chaired the Standing Committee on Business and Industry between 2013 and 2014, when she stepped down to become the party's parliamentary leader for a second time.

She has also been mentioned as a possible future leader of the Centre Party.

In February 2013, Arnstad sent a letter to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to change the definition of mopeds in the law regarding motorcycles and mopeds, to include bikes with start-up engines, thereby making them legal.

Arnstad took this action after VG reported that the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) had ordred around 2700 disabled people to park the bikes they had been given by them.

In late February, she promised improvements to soil protection, and said it would be a central part in the then upcoming National Transportation Plan that would be presented in autumn.

This was also noted as an increase from the original protection sought by her predecessor, Liv Signe Navarsete.

In late March, she caused controversy when she tweeted a response to another user, ending in f'***k Oslo.

2014

She is currently the party's parliamentary leader since 2014, having previously held the office from 2003 to 2005.

She was re-elected to said position again in 2014 when Trygve Slagsvold Vedum became party leader.

Following the 2021 election, she joined party leader Trygve Slagsvold Vedum with pre-government negotiations in Hurdal that began on 23 September.
