En ik wil dat iedereen zich hier net zo thuis voelt als ik.\u00a0<br><br>In de afgelopen jaren heb ik nieuwkomers geholpen met het vinden van werk en daarmee het vinden van een nieuwe toekomst. De ene keer hielp ik een IT specialist weer om aan het werk te komen als IT specialist, en een andere keer hielp ik een geoloog om een succesvolle kunstschilder te worden. Iedereen heeft een toekomst in deze stad, maar soms hebben mensen vooral een steuntje in de rug nodig. Er is niets zo bevredigend als mensen helpen op eigen benen te staan, maar ik zie dat we dit in Den Haag te weinig doen. Duizenden mensen zitten vast in werkloosheid en niemand die meer met ze praat. Daar wil ik voor opkomen.<br><br>Ik zal er alles aan doen om onze vergeten mede-Hagenaars weer aan het werk te krijgen en ze zo weer een kans te geven. Dat maakt mij ook een D66\u2019er in hart en nieren.
