Political career

Josvanger ran for a seat to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the provincial election as a candidate for the Liberals. He won the Bonnyville electoral district defeating two other candidates with just over 50% of the popular vote. He was elected later that year as a municipal councilor for the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87 in the first election held after its creation in 1955. Josvanger would serve both political posts. Josvanger ran for a second term in provincial office in the 1959 Alberta general election. He was defeated by Social Credit candidate Karl Nordstrom, finishing second in the three way race.
