In 2007, she was a candidate to become deputy leader of the Socialist Left Party, but lost out to Bård Vegar Solhjell at the national convention.[1]

On 16 December 2022, she announced her candidacy for the deputy leadership in 2023, while also endorsing Kirsti Bergstø for leader, reiterating her county chapter's endorsement.[2] She was ultimately not chosen and the selection of deputy leader came down to Lars Haltbrekken and Marian Abdi Hussein, with the latter ultimately securing the most votes at the party's convention in March 2023.[3] [4]

Other

Fiskaa became a board member of Attac Norway in 2004, and leader of the anti-war organization Fredsinitiativet ('The Peace Initiative') in 2005.[6] She stepped down from Fredsinitiativet in 2008.[7] She has been suggested by peace activist Fredrik Heffermehl as a new member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.[8]
