About me

My name is Jan Ericson and I live in Ubbhult, which is in the municipality of Mark. My vision as a politician is that citizens should be in charge of their own lives. Man needs to be in focus, not the systems, the individual prioritized as supposed to the collective community. All people should be able to grow in accordance to their own ability.

I decided to become politically active 1998, and I represent the conservative party, moderaterna. During the years 2002 through 2006 I was the group leader for the local party and the governing majority in the municipality of Mark. In the 2006 election I was elected into the Swedish Parliament and am among other commissioned by the government to be a member of the labour market committee.

Who am I?

48 years old, born and raised in Gothenburg and once again living in Ubbhult, where I used to live in my teens. Ubbhult is a small village in the north-western part of Mark, approximately 5 km from Landvetter Airport, 35 km from the city of Gothenburg and 40 km from the city of Borås.

I am married and have two smart kids, 16 and 14 years old, and master of “Nelly” and "Madde", two stray dogs we adopted from a dog shelter in Spain.
