Åsa Johansson

She is chair of the regional board of Region Värmland, a post she holds until the end of 2026, and has been a municipal councillor in Hagfors and chair of the housing federation Sabo. She is named as a candidate for regional board chair of Värmland in the 13 September 2026 election.

Career

Fastighetstidningen reported in 2016, when she was 39, that she had worked as a woodcraft teacher and special-needs teacher, chaired the municipal housing company Hagforshem, and been a municipal councillor in Hagfors and vice chair of Region Värmland. She had sat on the board of the public housing organisation Sabo since 2011 and became its chair in summer 2016. Region Värmland's register of elected officials lists her as chair of the regional board until 31 December 2026, and as chair of the crisis management committee.

Positions

After the September 2026 election the three governing parties of Region Värmland lost three seats between them, and on 5 October 2026 the Social Democrats, Left Party and Centre Party agreed with the Green Party, which holds three seats, to keep a majority. Värmlands Folkblad quotes Johansson saying she was very happy the four parties had agreed to govern the region, and reports that she continues as board chair.
