Arbeiderpartiet (The Labour Party)  

Presentation of the party

Mayoral candidate Silje Rygland

We want to spend money on the important things. That is why we want to prioritize education, healthcare, and elders, ahead of lessening the tax burden on those who have the most.

Everyone should have access to green areas and nature. We put the needs of citizens ahead of developers. Ullensaker should be a local society full of life, with varied culture services, and inclusive gathering places.

Safe and proper jobs is decisive in people’s ability to plan their lives.

Increasing prices makes it hard for those who have less and hits them the hardest. For this reason, we want to prioritize the services that are available for everyone, no matter the size of your wallet.

Presentation of the party

Mayoral candidate Ståle Lien Hansen

Dear Citizens and businesses,

Ullensaker Progress party has a vision to make Ullensaker the best municipality in Norway.

We want to be available and action-oriented, remove the property-tax, and secure a safe upbringing for children and young people. We want to invest in good sports and culture services and create good living environments. We want to have a «YES-attitude» in matters that affect you because you are our focus.

It is time to strengthen healthcare for elderly people, and ensure a higher capacity in nursing homes, senior housing, and a "dementia village".

We want to cooperate with both private and non-profit organizations in healthcare, education, and kindergarten. For the Progress Party, it does not matter who creates or runs these services.

We ask for your trust to make this vision a reality.

Rødt (The Red Party) 

Presentation of the party

Mayoral candidate Kathirne Asbjørnsen

For Rødt, the fight against differences in Norway is the most important.

Rødt Ullensaker will therefore prioritise:

• Increasing social assistance rates
• Non-profit welfare in kindergarten, school and health - because your tax money should be used for services for you and your family, and not in the pockets of commercial owners.
• No to common rent!
• Teeth are part of the body and Rødt therefore works for free dental health for everyone.
• Increase the number of days and hours the NAV office is open.
• Gradually introduce free SFO and kindergarten!
• Ensure increased basic staffing with more full-time and permanent positions in the health sector and more teachers and specialised educators in schools and kindergartens in the municipality.
• Expand low-threshold programmes for acute mental health care
• More nursing home places
• Protect arable land, forests, marshes, hiking areas and other outdoor areas.

SV (The Socialist Left Party)

Presentation of the party

Mayoral candidate Mahmod Ahmad

As a resident of this great municipality, I have also recognised the challenges we face. I have seen how inequalities are growing, and how families and individuals are not getting the help they need.

No one should be left behind and SV will therefore work in favour of:

• A new secondary school in Jessheim
• Closing Storgata to car traffic in the summer
• Implement the adopted plans for health, schools and kindergartens
• Children in low-income families must be offered free leisure and cultural activities in the municipality
• Combat exclusion, both economically and socially
• Housing for those who need it most, namely students, the disabled, people with little money and single parents
• A safe and serious labour market

Høyre (The Conservative Party) 

Presentation of the party

Mayoral candidate Børre Lien Hansen

Ullensaker should be a good place to live, regardless of age.

Schools should provide opportunities for all pupils. The content is the most important thing. We will therefore invest in teachers through continuing and further education.

Culture, sports and volunteering will be prioritised. We want good solutions for these, and sport must have more indoor and outdoor surfaces.

The elderly should have an active and sociable life, while we establish more care and dementia homes.

The Conservatives will say YES when it provides increased quality and well-being. We want local business development and a vibrant city centre.

We want good financial management, but at the same time we say no to property tax.

Presentation of the party

1. kandidat Lars Halvor Stokstad Oserud

Ullensaker Centre Party wants controlled growth in the municipality. We will protect cultivated land and nature, and not build more than is necessary to provide good services in kindergarten, school, health, care and other important services. Technical infrastructure such as water, sewerage, stormwater and roads must also keep pace with development. We will ensure a continued solid municipal economy, in the best interests of residents, businesses and our descendants.

We have been involved in the governance of Ullensaker, and have had the deputy mayor, for four years, and during this period we have carried out a major positive turnaround. It is the citizens, through elections and democracy, who will govern the municipality.
