Life

Before starting his political career, Jess Svane worked primarily in the commercial sector. Between 1992 and 2001 he was the port manager of Qasigiannguit before setting up on his own in 2004.

Jess Svane was named mayor of Qasigiannguit parish after the 2005 local elections, in which he received 74 votes . In the parliamentary election in the same year , he missed entry into Inatsisartut with 69 votes . In the local elections in 2008, he received the most votes in his party in his constituency and was then first mayor of Qaasuitsup Kommunia , which was active on January 1, 2009 . He did not succeed in defending his mayor's post in the 2013 local elections, as he scored 363 fewer votes than his party colleague Ole Dorph with 413. He therefore entered the parliamentary elections next year and came first in his party with 172 votes so that he finally succeeded Minister Doris Jakobsen in the Inatsisartut. In the 2017 local elections, he defended his place on the local council with 185 votes, but now on the council of Qeqertalik due to the administrative reform . In the 2018 parliamentary elections , he again reached the first place of the Siumut with 161 and this time slipped into parliament for Minister Erik Jensen . In April 2019 he was appointed Minister for Labor, Energy and Research in the Kielsen V cabinet. On November 22, 2019, he received the labor market position from Erik Jensen, who had resigned. In May 2020 he was appointed Minister for Labor Market, Research and Environment in the Kielsen VI cabinet .

Jess Svane has four children with his wife Emilie.
