General information
Estonia needs strong and smart regional policy to provide all people of Estonia with high-quality services, good living environment as well as opportunities for remote working and taking part in social life. I would like to be the voice of the people of Järva County and Viljandi County and other rural regions in the Riigikogu and contribute to legislative drafting on the basis of my long-time practical experience as a local government leader.
