Brynja Dan Gunnarsdóttir, a city councilor and owner of Extraloppunnar, has declared her intention to lead the Progressives' list in the forthcoming municipal elections in Garðabær. She previously served as the candidate leader in the 2022 elections and subsequently took her seat on the city council. The Progressives in Garðabær have established a nomination committee to evaluate candidate applications, indicating an organized approach to the upcoming elections.

Currently, the Progressives have two representatives in Garðabær, including Brynja and Hjördís Guðný Guðmundsdóttir, who is the chair of the Women's Association and the Progressives' organization in Garðabær. Brynja's announcement comes as she expresses her enthusiasm for continuing her work in the council, highlighting the educational value of her role and her desire to influence the community positively. She has been involved in shaping the municipality's gender equality policy and emphasizes the importance of this work.

Brynja's commitment to lead her party's efforts in the local elections reflects a larger trend in Icelandic politics, where local governance has become a focal point for parties looking to address community needs. As she prepares for the election, her previous experiences and current roles will likely play a significant part in how she campaigns and connects with the voters in Garðabær.
