The speaker's main legislative priorities are the enshrinement of the Song and Dance Festival tradition (initiated draft bill 598), the modernization of the Language Act (initiated draft bill establishing language requirements in the service sector), and the critical oversight of education reforms (e.g., the nationalization of upper secondary schools, the teacher career model). He/She emphasizes the necessity of providing statutory guarantees (e.g., wage subsidies, preservation of the tradition) instead of relying on regulations.

The speaker is an active legislator, concentrating on initiating draft resolutions aimed at improving teachers' working conditions (career model and salary increase) and addressing regional policy (specifically, clarity in the formation of the school network). Furthermore, he supports amending the Cultural Endowment Act to fund the ERR building and is initiating a draft amendment to the Language Act to strengthen the status of the Estonian language in public spaces and services. He also criticizes the delays in processing legislation within the Riigikogu.
