Jørgen Blydt

He ran for parliamentary election in all four of Bergen county's constituencies at the time—Kalfaret, Nordnes, Sandviken and Nygaard—and served two terms as an MP (1900–1903 and 1916–1918).

He was born in Bergen as a son of merchant Hans Schultz Blydt (1830–1916) and Maren Breder Hagelsteen (1834–1870).

[1] In the 1906 he ran in the single-member constituency Kalfaret, and was elected deputy as the running mate of Johan Ludwig Mowinckel.

The reason was that Blydt had run in Sandviken as well, and though finishing second behind Lars Sæbø again, he managed to reach the runoff here.

[1] Particularly during the First World War he was a member of numerous committees that sprang up as the state needed more control over enterprise.

He was a board member of Bergens Kreditbank (1906–1922), Fiskeribanken (1921–1936), Norges Oplysningskontor for Næringsveiene and the Norwegian America Line.
