Samen met mijn vrouw en onze twee kinderen woon ik met veel plezier in onze gemeente. Hier gingen onze kinderen naar school, hier ontmoeten we vrienden en buren, hier bouwen we aan onze toekomst. Juist daarom zet ik me politiek in: omdat Beuningen niet alleen een plek is om te wonen, maar om te l\u00e9ven.<\/strong>\t<\/p><section class=\"people-bullet-point-card block-people-introduction__people-bullet-point-card\" style=\"--bg-color: var(--global-colors-texasRose)\">\n\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__title\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading    heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-over-roel750\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Over Roel\">\n\tOver Roel<\/h2>\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"people-bullet-point-card__border\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__info\">\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"lists\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><label>Woonplaats<\/label><span>Beuningen<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section><p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default\">\n\t\t<strong>In het dagelijks leven werk ik als directeur in het basisonderwijs. Daar zie ik elke dag hoe belangrijk gelijke kansen, goed onderwijs en een sterke gemeenschap zijn. Kinderen die vandaag nieuwsgierig mogen groeien, zijn de inwoners die morgen onze samenleving dragen. Dat vraagt om keuzes die vooruitkijken.<\/strong><br><br><strong>Naast mijn werk volg ik een opleiding op het gebied van publiek management. Die studie helpt me om verder te kijken dan vandaag en beleid te verbinden aan lange termijnwaarde voor onze gemeente. Want politiek gaat wat mij betreft niet over de waan van de dag, maar over duurzame keuzes voor morgen.<\/strong><br><br><strong>In mijn vrije tijd sta ik graag op de squashbaan. Sport houdt me scherp, geeft energie en leert me dat je alleen vooruitkomt door in beweging te blijven \u2013 precies de houding die ik ook in de politiek belangrijk vind.<\/strong><br><br><strong>Met D66 kies ik voor vertrouwen, vernieuwing en kansen voor iedereen. Samen maken we Beuningen sterker, groener en eerlijker \u2013 voor onze kinderen \u00e9n voor de generaties daarna.<\/strong>\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":465,"featured_media":1963,"menu_order":0,"template":"","labels":[],"search-tags":[],"division-tags":[52],"class_list":["post-956","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","division-tags-mensen"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Beuningen &#8212;
