Description
I am a civil engineer and a mother of three children in daycare and elementary school ages. I grew up in northern Helsinki, lived in Otaniemi during my studies and moved to Kauniainen in 2008. I am interested in societal issues, especially sustainability and environmental issues as well as gender equality issues. In Kauniainen the main interests are school issues as well as traffic and planning issues. I am an avid everyday cyclist and I usually get around by bike in Kauniainen.Election goals
1. I want to work for a high-quality school and daycare. Group sizes should be kept sufficiently small, and there should be enough support for the students. It is also important that both languages, Swedish and Finnish, are considered equally in school matters, which is ensured by two separate and equal school committees.2. I want to work for sustainable planning and construction. Green areas and biodiversity should be considered in the planning, and the planning should preferably promote wooden construction. I want to develop walking and cycling paths so that it is safe and easy to both walk and cycle in Kauniainen.
3. I want to work for Kauniainen to get its economy in balance. I advocate both cuts and, if necessary, tax increases. Kauniainen's strength is the investments in schools and daycare, culture, sports, and exercise. I am not prepared to make significant cuts in these areas. It should not be an end in itself to keep the municipal tax rate significantly lower than other municipalities at the expense of children and residents' well-being.
