Rooted in Uster

  • Grew up in UsterI was born in Uster in 1984 and grew up in Oberuster. I went to school here and did my apprenticeship here.
  • FamilyI live in Uster with my husband and our two children. Both children go to primary school here.
  • By Lake GreifenseeAt weekends I am often at Lake Greifensee, on foot or by bike. For me the lake is the finest part of our district.
  • At the gym clubI have been a member of the local gym club for over twenty years. Today I run the children's group there on Wednesday evenings.

The experience I bring

  • Entrepreneur

    In 2013 I founded a bike workshop in Uster. Today six employees and I sell and repair bikes and e-bikes. I know how much paperwork a small business has to handle.

  • Municipal councillor

    I have sat on the Gemeinderat, the parliament of the town of Uster, since 2018. I was re-elected in 2022 and 2026. On the planning and building committee I helped write the new building rules.

  • Apprentice trainer

    In my business I train apprentices every year. Three former apprentices now work as skilled staff in firms in the region.

  • In the community

    I run the children's group at the gym club and sit on the primary school parents' council. There I see what families really need day to day.

So the Uster district stays a place for families and small firms

Dear neighbours in the Uster district

Thirteen years ago I opened my bike workshop with a small loan and a lot of courage. Today six people work for me. I am proud of that. But I also know how many evenings I have spent on forms.

On the municipal council I learned that good politics can be simple. You listen, do the sums and look for a solution that lasts. That is how we wrote Uster's new building rules. It is also how we fought for a train every quarter hour.

But many decisions are not made in Uster. They are made in Zurich. That is where building permits, schools, taxes and transport are decided. That is why I am standing for the cantonal parliament.

I want young families to find a home here. I want parents to be able to work and know their children are well looked after. And I want small firms to spend their time on customers, not on the authorities.

I do not promise you miracles. I promise that I will listen, explain my decisions and keep my word.

On 4 April 2027 you will find me on list 3, place 4. I would be glad of your vote.

Warm regards Lena Muster
