Kaj-Johan
Karlsson
Southwest Finland
I was born and raised in the archipelago and have worked here my whole life. As an entrepreneur in the construction industry, I live in Pargas, am married, and have three children. I am active in the voluntary fire brigade at the local, regional, and national levels. In addition, I am involved in community life and work part-time as the CEO of the local sports association's real estate company.
I have been a member of the Pargas City Council for the last three terms and am a member of the City Board. I also represent the board in the Building Committee and have previously been active in, among other things, the regional rescue committee and the regional council of Southwest Finland.
With a background in the municipal sector, I have worked as a municipal building master and rescue chief. I believe I have much to contribute to the decision-making process within Varha.
