"Everyone has the right to good healthcare. But that is not something one achieves alone as a politician. Politics is about working together. I am committed to collaborating with others – even with those who do not share my views – to find common ground and work towards shared goals."
I am a Member of Parliament, an entrepreneur, an architect, and a father of five from Kirkkonummi. I understand the reality of entrepreneurs, but also that of families with children. The challenges parents face are part of my everyday life.
I became an architect because I wanted to build environments that meet people's needs and improve their lives. Buildings where children can learn, people feel inspired by their work, individuals with disabilities receive care, and the elderly can age safely. I wanted to build a sustainable society that works for everyone. I have been able to continue this work as a minister, a Member of Parliament, and a municipal councilor – but with new tools.
I am also running in the municipal elections

Accessible health care
Care means security. Real care is there when you need it.A phone line that doesn’t tell you when help is coming isn’t secure.
A care relationship that isn’t lasting or in your own language isn’t quality care. And if getting help means hours of travel, it’s simply not accessible.
We can do better. And we will.
Safe elderly care
No one should have to move far from their home community when their health calls for a new place to live.
Loneliness is a serious and urgent issue for many older people. A close care relationship and housing that allows people to stay connected to their own social circle is a human right.
When we plan housing for the elderly, it shouldn’t be pushed to remote, secondary locations. It should be where people are – in the heart of the community. We all need intergenerational connections!
Thriving children, adolescents and families
Child health clinics are a Finnish success story – and rightfully a source of pride. But why stop there?
That same model of care should continue into primary school. Child, youth, and family counseling must form one continuous, working whole.
We need accessible mental health services and strong student welfare. When student support moved from schools to the wellbeing services counties, some things improved – but the vital connection to teachers and daily school life was weakened. That must be fixed. So must the shortage of school counselors and psychologists.
