"Rescue services must be supported, as they are at the heart of our safety. The role of volunteers must continue to be supported. Medical care must be guaranteed within reasonable distances."
I am a barefoot Sibbobo from Västerskog, and I currently live in Söderkulla. I have been an entrepreneur in tractor contracting for almost 4 years and my hobbies include collecting old tractors and cultural tourism in Finland.
Since I was a little boy, volunteer fire brigade activities in the Gumbo volunteer fire brigade have been close to my heart.
By nature, I am thoughtful and considerate of other people.
I am also running in the municipal elections

Reliable rescue services
Rescue services must not be spared from cuts in funding. There must continue to be sufficient personnel in the event of accidents and in the work required to prevent them - in Finnish, Swedish and English languages. An important special feature of Eastern Uusimaa is also the Loviisa nuclear power plant and the Kilpilahti oil refinery, which must be taken into account in the funding and training of rescue workers.
The activities of voluntary fire brigades must be supported by allocating resources to youth activities and to contracted fire brigades in the areas of training and funding. Together with the rescue services, contracted fire brigades will improve the safety of Eastern Uusimaa now and in the future.
Accessible health care
-Municipal healthcare services must be accessible and close to those in need.
-Promoting and introducing the personal doctor and personal nurse system.
-A mobile health bus will improve the accessibility of services in rural areas and the archipelago.
Safe elderly care
Elderly people should be offered a variety of housing options that can ensure a safe and appropriate living environment. Access to supported housing should be facilitated, for example through service vouchers.
