MY ELECTION PRIORITIES
Children’s and young people’s future is not to be played with
We need more resources for education and competence in order to improve learning outcomes and reduce disparities between regions and schools. Group sizes in early childhood education and schools must be reduced. We must invest in the well-being of children and young people. Every child and young person should have the opportunity to engage in a hobby. Families with children need support so that everyday life doesn’t become overwhelming.
Faster access to better care
Access to healthcare in Helsinki must be sped up. None of us gets better while waiting in line, which is why people need to be moved faster from queues to better social and healthcare services.
More affordable housing and public transport
Helsinki needs more reasonably priced housing. Construction must not lead to the destruction of nearby nature that people value.
Public transport fares must be lowered. It must be possible to purchase tickets only for Zone A (or B or C). The goal should be free public transport for students, unemployed people, and low-income pensioners. Public transport plays a crucial role in reducing traffic emissions in Helsinki. Climate goals cannot be achieved without it.
