Ragnvald Winjum

Ragnvald Terum Winjum (17 May 1917 – 4 January 1965) was a Norwegian jurist and politician for the Liberal Party.[1]

A cand.jur. by education (1949), Winjum settled in Aurland in 1953, working as a farmer and attorney. In 1960 he became the mayor of Aurland Municipality.[1]

In 1963 Winjum became the first to hold the post of county mayor (fylkesordfører) of Sogn og Fjordane. However, because of illness problems, he had to leave the post for then-deputy county mayor Nils Helgheim before even chairing a single council meeting.[1][2]

Winjum also served as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament from Sogn og Fjordane during the term 1961–1965. He died during the last year of the term.[1]
