Jakob Engel-Schmidt (born 24 October 1983) is a Danish politician and Member of the Folketing from the Moderates.[1] Since 15 December 2022 he has been Minister for Culture in the Frederiksen II Cabinet.[2]
Political career
In the 2009 Danish local elections, he ran unsuccessfully in Rudersdal Municipality.[3]
He was a Venstre parliamentary candidate in the Lyngby constituency in the 2011 Danish general election and won 2,234 personal votes, but not enough to win a seat. The radio host Jarl Cordua endorsed him, calling him "an excellent liberal candidate".[4]
On 15 August 2013, he instead entered the Folketing as a substitute for Gitte Lillelund Bech who resigned from parliament.[5]
In 2022, he left Venstre and joined the Moderates.[6] On 15 December, he was appointed minister of culture in Mette Frederiksen's second cabinet.[7]
