Member of the Riigikogu

Üldinfo

My experiences while heading a local government and directing cooperation between local governments in my capacity as the Chairman of the Board of Pärnu County Local Governments Union, Pärnu County Governor, and Chairman of Pärnu City Council, have provided me with the starting capital that a member of the Riigikogu needs. It is important to develop at least four regional centres in addition to Tallinn and Tartu in a coordinated way. Regional education network must support the needs and developmental directions of local businesses. I firmly believe that it serves no one to let environmental and economic policies drift apart both in content and in form.
