Thore Myrvang

Thore Embretsen Myrvang (21 January 1858 – 9 July 1939) was a Norwegian educator and politician for the Liberal Party and the Labour Democrats.

He was born in Tynset as a son of farmers Embret Thoresen Myrvang (1828–1884) and Gisken Krogseng (1829–1922).

From 1911 to 1915 he was the acting school director of the Diocese of Hamar, being a substitute for Olav Andreas Eftestøl who was an MP.

[1] On the latter occasion, the system with single-member constituencies had been implemented, and Myrvang won because he gathered the social democratic vote.

[1][4] In 1918, the last election with single-member constituencies, he lost to Johan Bondesen, social democrat from Stor-Elvdal.
