In August, the Social Democratic municipal councilor Jana Nilsson announced that he was leaving his post with a long career of local politics behind him.

The successor Jeanette Qvist (S) has been a member of Varberg's City Council for 23 years and is currently vice chair of the personnel committee and the education and labor market committee.

She herself thinks it feels fun to have her party comrades behind her.

- It is a great strength for me and the party also fun that I have become the first female Social Democratic municipal councilor in Varberg, feels historic, says Jeanette Qvist (S).
