Biography

“Representing the people means standing up for your constituents’ interests and thinking ahead”

I entered politics because I believed that Geert Wilders and the PVV deserved support, and that’s why I am in the House of Representatives. Before being elected as an MP, I was a public prosecutor in Zutphen and attorney general in Amsterdam.

Thinking ahead

Being an MP was hardly a dream of mine when I was younger. While I was interested in politics, I never thought I would embark on a political career. Geert Wilders and his PVV sparked my political ambition. To me, representing the people means standing up for your constituents’ interests and thinking ahead.
