Espoo

"Education, justice, community – a stronger Espoo for all!"

I’m Bao, a Master’s student in European and Nordic Studies at the University of Helsinki and a Legal & Compliance Trainee at Metso. With a strong legal background and international experience, I know how to fight for justice and real change.

I want Espoo to be a city where quality education is a right, not a privilege, housing is affordable and sustainable, and everyone—no matter their background—feels welcome and included.

Espoo needs action, not just words. Let’s build a fairer, smarter, and more inclusive city—together!

Important political topics

Sustainable and attractive planning

Espoo must grow in a way that benefits everyone, not just a select few. We need affordable, high-quality housing that meets different income levels while protecting the environment. Urban planning should prioritize sustainability, accessibility, and community well-being—creating spaces where people can truly thrive.

Children, Youth, and Families

Every child deserves a strong start in life. That means free daycare for low-income families, high-quality education, and safe recreational spaces where young people can grow, learn, and dream big. Investing in children is investing in Espoo’s future!

Thriving citizens

A great city is built on opportunity and inclusion. Everyone—regardless of background—should have access to education, jobs, and community life. We must ensure better integration support for foreign residents, foster an open and welcoming attitude, and create an Espoo where everyone feels they belong.
