He was elected to the municipal first time in 1966. He was in many years chairman of the municipality's technical committee, and became mayor in 1994. In 2004 he demanded that the municipality remained independent in the forthcoming local government, which the majority of voters in a referendum backed up on. Vallensbæk got a cooperation agreement with Ishøj Municipality and remained thus independent.
Kurt Hockerup died on March 29, 2010, from cardiac arrest. After his death, Henrik Rasmussen was elected as new mayor.[2]
