Early life and education

Guðmundur was born in Hafnarfjörður, where he finished school at Flensborgarskóli [is]. He studied political science at the University of Iceland from 1978 to 1980. His father, Stefán Gunnlaugsson, his brother Gunnlaugur Stefánsson, and his half-brother Finnur Torfi Stefánsson were all also members of the Althing.[1]

Non-political career

From 1975 to 1986, except for four years as a police officer in Reykjavík, he worked as a journalist in newspapers and broadcasting, including as editor of Alþýðublaðið from 1982 to 1985.[1]

Political and diplomatic career

He was a representative for Hafnarfjörður from 1982 to 1994 and from 1986 to 1993 mayor of Hafnarfjörður.[1]

He was elected a deputy member of the Althing for Reykjanes [is] in October 1991 and January 1993, then in 1993 as a full member for Reykjanes from the Social Democratic Party. He continued to serve until 2005, later as a member of the joint parliamentary group formed by the Social Democrats and the National Awakening and then of the Social Democratic Alliance, from 2003 representing the Southwest.[1] He was named Minister of Health and Social Security in June 1993[2] and was Minister of Social Affairs from June to November 1994; in 1995–1999 he was fourth vice-president of the Althing and in 1999–2005, first vice president.[1]

From 1995 to 1997, Guðmundur was a member of the Icelandic delegation to the Nordic Council, then from 1997 to 2005, of the Icelandic delegation to NATO; he served as chairman in 2005.[1]

In April 2020 he was named Consul General of Iceland in Winnipeg, Canada.[6]
