"The municipality needs Coach Kristie!"

Who is Coach Kristie?
Every munipality needs a loud and proud Karen.
I am a half-Norwegian, half-Finnish, 30-year-old woman, living her best life in Niittykumpu. I have work experience from national and international political institutions, as well as from voluntary organizations and in advocacy.
My coaching experience comes from training kids in both track and field and soccer.

As a person, I am determined, outgoing, cheerful and tenacious. These are characteristics that are desirable in a successful local politician.

My free time is spent in various sports environments, including running around, or skiing in Espoo's beautiful forests, ice bathing at the Haukilahti beach, or walking on the wonderful footpaths across the municipality. If you want to work out with me, you will of course find me at the Esport Center.

Political issues are close to my heart:

Do you want your neighborhood to feel comfortable?
Do you want public transport to be made better?
Are the outdoors and nature important in your everyday life?

Did you answer yes to one or several of the statements above?

Then I might be the right candidate for you to vote for in the municipal elections!
Why should you vote on me? I want to make sure that all Espoo residents feel at ease in their home surroundings.
I want to improve public transport, in order to reduce the use of private cars.
I want you to feel happy in the best municipality in Finland. I want to do this by preserving our unique access to nature.

I am Kristie, your competent candidate in the 2025 municipal elections!
