Vantaa
"A safe and equal Vantaa where everyone's voice is heard!"
I am an engineer, entrepreneur, and father of two daughters with a strong commitment to the development of Vantaa. I spend much of my time supporting children and young people, both through Hem och Skola and as an active member of the football community at VJS. As a scout, I value community and responsibility—principles I want to promote in politics.
I want to work for an entrepreneur-friendly, safe, and inclusive Vantaa where both children and adults have the best opportunities to thrive and grow. Through collaboration and long-term investments, we can create a city where people want to live, work, and develop.
Important political topics
Equality and Equity
Equality is particularly important to me both as a candidate and as the father of two daughters. I believe that all residents of Vanda should have equal opportunities to thrive and influence their city, regardless of gender, age, background, or ability. I want to work towards:
- Equal job opportunities – supporting businesses and initiatives that promote equal treatment in the labor market.
- Equal access to services – ensuring that education, healthcare, and municipal services are available to everyone, including linguistically.
- A safer urban environment – investing in safer public spaces for women and minorities, including better lighting and preventive measures against harassment.
- Strengthened participation – ensuring that all groups in society are heard in decision-making through better citizen dialogue and inclusive urban planning.
The best schools
The best school is created through close cooperation between home and school, something I have experienced as the chair of Hem och Skola in both primary and secondary schools. I want to work towards:
- Meaningful and accessible extracurricular activities for all children and young people in close cooperation with schools – to give everyone the opportunity to develop even in their free time.
- Active work against bullying – with enough adult school coaches in each school to create a safer learning environment.
- Well-functioning school spaces to create optimal conditions for learning – our school buildings should be healthy and fresh, but also inspiring learning environments that provide peace for work.
Economy & Business
A strong and sustainable economy is created when businesses thrive and create job opportunities. This is especially important to me as an entrepreneur. I want to work towards:
- Creating a more business-friendly Vantaa through smoother permitting processes and better support for small businesses.
- Developing Myyrmäki and Tikkurila into modern hubs for commerce, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
- Strengthening collaboration with local universities of applied sciences, which are important players in skill development and can play an even bigger role as incubators for new businesses and innovations.
