Why I'm standing

I have both professional expertise and life experience especially in the field of maritime transport and from inside the health system. I see that as a good basis to initiate changes on a local basis.

About me

I am a strong believer that a council should continuously be supplied with some "fresh blood". I have spend a lifetime in community organisations doing the hard work. Now, I believe, is the time to get serious in changing some policies and make use of some influence.

My priorities
  1. Bring the port back into action. (Back to the future!)
  2. Develop new concepts and build new facilities for seniors and disadvantaged and disabled people.
  3. Develop new concepts to attract new company foundations to bring young families into the region.
