Johanna Karimäki

Description

I am a teacher and a mother, a regional councilor for Western Uusimaa, and a city councilor in Espoo. I hold a Master of Science in Engineering and work as a teacher of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I advocate for the safety and efficiency of social and healthcare services, as well as for diversity and freedom of choice. It is important to me that services for children and young people, mental health services, and services for people with disabilities and the elderly are improved. ICT systems must be efficient and secure.

I am an active and competent politician with extensive experience in parliamentary and council work. As a regional councilor, I have worked to improve access to local services and promote health-supporting recreational activities, such as securing day activities for the elderly. I have initiated proposals for improving the treatment and early detection of eating disorders, as well as for enhancing school healthcare. My initiative to improve the vaccination appointment process helped high-risk groups gain better access to COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations.

I am a teacher and a mother, a regional councilor for Western Uusimaa, a city councilor in Espoo, the chair of the Environment and Building Committee, and a member of the Tapiola Parish Council. I hold a Master of Science in Engineering and work as a teacher of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
I am an active and competent politician with extensive experience in parliamentary and council work. My initiatives have led to the implementation of projects such as the Gumböle River fishway and a public barbecue area along the Matinkylä waterfront trail.
My latest council initiatives have focused on improving public transport for school commutes, expanding municipal veterinary services, protecting hedgehogs, acquiring sports equipment for community parks, and launching a tree-planting campaign in schools and daycare centers. Schools can now order saplings from the city for planting!
