Vibeke Storm Rasmussen

Vibeke Storm Rasmussen (born 14 September 1945, in Copenhagen) is a Danish politician and the chairman of the Capital Region of Denmark from 2007 to 2014, elected for the Social Democrats.

From 1974 to 1993, she worked in Ballerup Municipality as a consultant in the school system, focusing among other things on children from ethnic minorities and their school-related problems.

She has run for parliament and sometimes served as a substitute therein, but her primary focus has been regional politics.

She was re-elected in 1997 and in 2001, continuing until the county was disbanded as a result of the Danish municipal reform.

Instead Sophie Hæstorp Andersen (born 26 September 1974 in Copenhagen) ran as the leader of the Social Democrats and was elected as chairman of the regional council.
