**Douglas Verner Thor** (born 11 December 1997) is a Swedish politician of the [Moderate Party](/source/Moderate_Party). He has been national chairman of the [Moderate Youth League](/source/Moderate_Youth_League) since 2022.[1]

## Life and career

Thor was born on 11 December 1997 in [Nävelsjö](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A4velsj%C3%B6_f%C3%B6rsamling) (outside [Vetlanda](/source/Vetlanda)) in [Jönköping County](/source/J%C3%B6nk%C3%B6ping_County), Sweden.[2]

Thor was district chairman of the Moderate Youth League in Jönköping County from 2018 to 2021 and national chairman of the [Moderate Students](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderata_studenter_(sektion)) from 2021 to 2022.[3] He was member of the [municipal council](/source/Municipal_council) in [Vetlanda Municipality](/source/Vetlanda_Municipality) from October 2018 to May 2020, when he resigned to begin studies at [Uppsala University](/source/Uppsala_University).[4]

During the youth leagues congress in November 2022, Thor challenged incumbent [Matilda Ekeblad](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matilda_Ekeblad&action=edit&redlink=1) as chairman of the Moderate Youth League and won with the votes 52–49.[5]

In March 2023, Thor received negative publicity for having tried to influence the election of a district chairman in Jämtland County by suggesting that existing members could pay for new members' membership fees; his preferred candidate did not win.[6] The [Moderate Partys](/source/Moderate_Party) investigation stated that although Thor's action had been very bad, no new members could be linked to this occasion.[7]
