She was born in Luleå and started her political career by joining the Swedish Social Democratic Youth League, SSU, in Norrbotten. At 20, she became a local councillor and was elected an MP at 24. After graduating, Eva Nordmark started working for the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, while becoming increasingly active at the then SKTF trade union, now called Vision (trade union). She made a name for herself as a rejuvenator of the union, partly by aiming for 30 % of all elected representatives to be younger than 35.[3]
