Is opgeleid als Specialist Ouderen-geneeskunde, maar sinds de geboorte van haar jongste zoon en de verhuizing van Twente naar Brabant niet meer werkzaam als arts. Sinds september 2019 is ze lid van de raad van de commissarissen van een zorgbedrijf en op\u00a01 januari 2026 is ze gestart als consultant bij Opera Consultancy &amp; Implementatie in Den Bosch. De rest van haar tijd verdeelt ze tussen de politiek, vrienden en haar zonen. Als ze nog een momentje voor haar zelf heeft? Dan leest ze een boek.<br><br><strong>Waarom D66?<\/strong><br>Marieke is sinds 2013 lid van D66, maar stemde ook daarvoor al op D66. Toen zij in 2014 voor het eerst in Dongen mocht stemmen, bleek tot haar grote verbazing dat D66 niet met de verkiezingen meedeed! Samen met andere enthousiaste leden besloot ze daarom om D66 in Dongen nieuw leven in te blazen. Met als resultaat dat D66 tijdens de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen van 2018 drie zetels haalde. Sinds die tijd is Marieke fractievoorzitter.<br><br><strong>Wat heeft Marieke bereikt met D66<\/strong><br>Tijdens de verkiezingen van 2022 lukte het om een extra zetel te halen en Marieke is erg trots wat het enthousiaste en diverse D66 team de afgelopen jaren voor elkaar heeft gekregen.<br><br>Haar eigen focus lag hierbij met name bij het verbeteren van de omstandigheden voor de meest kwetsbare inwoners van Dongen.\u00a0<br><br>Hoewel er nog genoeg te doen is in de gemeente Dongen heeft Marieke in 2025 besloten dat ze zich bij de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen in 2026 niet opnieuw verkiesbaar stelt. Ze geef het stokje vol vertrouwen door aan Joeri de Jong, de nieuwe lijsttrekker.<br><br>Het bestuur van D66 Midden Brabant heeft haar daarop gevraagd of ze tijdens de verkiezingen als lijstduwer de kandidatenlijst van D66 wil ondersteunen. Uiteraard is ze hiertoe bereid. Na de verkiezingen zal ze op de achtergrond het team van D66 Dongen ook zeker blijven helpen.\u00a0<br>\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-marieke1989\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Over Marieke\">\n\tOver Marieke<\/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<li><label>Leeftijd<\/label><span>48 jaar<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t<li><label>Geboorteplaats<\/label><span>Agogo<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t<li><label>Woonplaats<\/label><span>Dongen<\/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\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-3701250366\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Expertises (portefeuilles)\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-expertises--portefeuilles-7592\">\n\tExpertises (portefeuilles)<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-3701250366\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-3701250366\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":507,"featured_media":1952,"menu_order":1,"template":"","search-tags":[188,189,44,215,235,90,87,62,85,232,214,127,158,161,137,45,49,86,98,124,206,221,146,48,144,39,51,2,57,170,243,147,171,82,240,241,172,226,242,141],"labels":[],"division-tags":[247,250,246],"class_list":["post-491","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","search-tags-andersdenkenden","search-tags-anderslevenden","search-tags-arbeidsmigranten","search-tags-armoede","search-tags-beschermd-wonen","search-tags-bestuurlijke-handhaving","search-tags-criminaliteit","search-tags-cultuur","search-tags-drugsgebruik","search-tags-eagle-shelter","search-tags-eenzaamheid","search-tags-gelijke-kansen","search-tags-gelijkheid","search-tags-gezond","search-tags-gezondheidszorg","search-tags-iedereen-kan-meedoen","search-tags-inclusieagenda","search-tags-jeugd","search-tags-jeugdzorg","search-tags-jongerenbeleid","search-tags-maatschappelijke","search-tags-maatwerk","search-tags-mantelzorg","search-tags-mantelzorgers","search-tags-meedoen","search-tags-mobiliteit","search-tags-nieuwkomers","search-tags-onderwijs","search-tags-gemeentelijke-onderwijsvisie","search-tags-samanleving","search-tags-scholen","search-tags-vangnet","search-tags-veilig","search-tags-veiligheids-gevoel","search-tags-voorleesdagen","search-tags-voorlezen","search-tags-welzijn","search-tags-werk-en-inkomen-economie","search-tags-zorg","search-tags-zorginstanties","division-tags-fractievoorzitter","division-tags-kandidatenlijst","division-tags-raadsleden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Dongen &#8212; Onze mensen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Samen met andere enthousiaste leden besloot ze daarom om D66 in Dongen nieuw leven in te blazen.
