""Your vote and voice for a safe and prosperous Western Uusimaa. Experience, communication, openness and knowledge are the basis for informed decisions. Challenges do not see borders - they can be solved in cooperation. The key to genuine and fruitful communication with all residents of the Western Uusimaa wellbeing area is to listen and to be present.""
I have a burning interest towards working at the grassroots level with resident democracy and community development in order to make the residents' voices heard in local politics.
I have been working with Espoo municipality politics since 2004 eg. as a member of the City Council, the City Planning Committee, the Environmental Committee and the current Environmental and Building Committee. I also have experience as a deputy member of the Swedish-speaking unit of the education sector, and for a couple of years as Espoo's representative in the South Coast Regional Council.
During my professional career and through my interest for sports and nature, I have visited in almost every Swedish-speaking municipality in Uusimaa and Åboland.
I strive for a community development that is fair, liberal and democratic. With freedom also comes responsibility. I believe that the Nordic welfare societies include the right of people to create their future safely, healthy and successfully. I never accept intolerance, bullying or racism. By education, I have a Master of Science Degree in Agriculture and Forestry.
I am also running in the municipal elections

Ambulance services should receive more resources so that the number of ambulances in the region increases rather than decreases.
It is very important that the ambulance service works locally and regionally throughout Western Uusimaa.
2 / 14
Services should be maintained in the regional hospitals in Raseborg and Lohja.
The service must be retained. The content of the services and what it means in practice can be partly discussed.
3 / 14
The wellbeing services county of West Uusimaa should allocate more resources to language supplements to encourage staff to provide services in Swedish.
Language allowances are very good, but language education and skills are a general social task that does not necessarily falls within the responsibility of the wellbeing services county.
4 / 14
There should be more mobile services, such as health buses and remote consultations.
It is good and necessary that it is being developed, but not necessarily all times, if the local service works.
5 / 14
Wellbeing services counties must increase investments in preventive healthcare, even if it means that other types of care receive fewer resources.
Important. It also means that access and organisation of preventive health care works, and queues are avoided.
6 / 14
A personal doctor system should be introduced to improve continuity of care, even if it requires extra resources for a while.
Yes, in the long term, but it may require resources and good organization. Constitutes an advantage in preventive health care.
7 / 14
Wellbeing services counties should prohibit the use of temporary agency doctors.
This would hardly be possible according to the background information currently provided on wellbeing services counties.
8 / 14
More shelter spaces should be established to help individuals subjected to violence.
This is a major societal challenge and a service that should be available quickly.
9 / 14
To shorten waiting times, wellbeing services counties should increase the use of service vouchers.
I\\\\\\\'m of the same opinion, service vouchers are needed. However, public health care should be developed so that the vouchers are more of an additional service.
10 / 14
Healthcare should be centralized if it saves money or improves quality.
Centralization of health care is not a good solution. It usually creates many more problems.
11 / 14
Funding and resources for rescue services should be prioritized higher, even if it means cuts in other sectors.
Rescue services are an important pillar of a functioning society.
12 / 14
Undocumented migrants should have the right to non-urgent healthcare.
The basic problem should also be solved, undocumented immigrants should not need to exist in a welfare society.
13 / 14
More emphasis should be placed on training healthcare staff in gender diversity and sexual diversity.
I don\\\\\\\'t think there is a need for more prioritization when current resources are not even enough for normal health care.
