Christian Democrats
HIGHLY VALUED POLITICS
|
Welcome to the local
elections-related pages of Johan Plomp. On these pages, you will find
information about me and the issues I would like to promote in the city
council of Tampere - when I get elected. I do not claim to know about
all of the matters that need the city's attention in Tampere, and
therefore I would like you to tell me about them. Together we will be
able to advance these matters and build a more humane, liveable and
ecological Tampere.
The municipal elections will be
held on the 28th of October. These local elections will vote the members
of the city council for the next 4 years. Advance voting is possible
from 17th until the 23th of October. Also foreigners living in Tampere
may vote under certain conditions. You will find more information about
the municipal elections from the governmental pages on the elections and in more detail in here. I am a candidate for the Christian Democrat party.

My background
|
I am a 46 year old father, husband, senior researcher, and active member of the society. I was born in the Netherlands, have lived in Finland for half of my life and obtained Finnish citizenship, and would like to build this society together with you. In my diverse job as researcher I have aimed to advance the competitiveness of Finnish industry and small and medium enterprises in particular. I have also worked on innovations to promote the health and wellbeing of people, including elderly people. My active involvement in associations, hobbies, and the church have introduced me to the needs of a great variety of people, for example immigrants and children. Society performs best, when there is a valuable place and task for everyone. I want to work towards this kind of society by creating and developing humane and ecological services, providing a good ecosystem for companies that provide jobs, and supporting hobbies, sports, and volunteer activities for the advancement of the local neighbourhood and the wellbeing of its residents.
