He was a member of Askøen municipal council, and also served as an elector while Norway had such a political system. He was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 1900. He served one term for the constituency of Søndre Bergenhus Amt before being a deputy representative during the term 1904–1906.[1]

Together with Hedvig Johannesen he had the daughter Ella Hage Hanssen (1900–1991), a painter who married zoologist and oceanographer Albert Eide Parr, a son of scholar Thomas Johannes Lauritz Parr.[2]
