Twaalf jaar geleden verhuisde ik naar Limburg. Inmiddels woon ik al tien jaar in Heerlen \u2014 een stad die ik bewust mijn thuis ben gaan noemen.<br><br>Wat mij hier houdt? De mentaliteit. Heerlen is een stad die niet opgeeft. Die na moeilijke jaren is blijven zoeken naar nieuwe kansen. Die zichzelf opnieuw durft uit te vinden. Dat spreekt mij aan.<br><br>In mijn dagelijks leven werk ik in het sociale domein. Daar zie ik hoe beleid mensen raakt \u2014 soms positief, soms frustrerend. Ik zie hoe belangrijk het is dat inwoners regie houden over hun eigen leven. Dat ondersteuning versterkt in plaats van overneemt. En dat kansen eerlijk verdeeld worden.<br><br>Naast mijn werk doe ik vrijwilligerswerk, omdat ik geloof dat betrokkenheid niet ophoudt bij je baan. Een sterke stad bouwen we samen.<br><br>Voor D66 wil ik mij inzetten voor een Heerlen dat vooruit blijft kijken.<br>Een stad waar goed onderwijs en ontwikkeling centraal staan.<br>Waar we investeren in wijken \u00e9n in mensen.<br>Waar de overheid duidelijk, toegankelijk en rechtvaardig is.<br><br>Ik ben hier niet geboren.<br>Maar ik heb er bewust voor gekozen om hier te blijven.<br>En om mee te bouwen aan de toekomst van Heerlen.\t<\/p><section class=\"people-bullet-point-card block-people-introduction__people-bullet-point-card\" style=\"--bg-color: var(--global-colors-yellow)\">\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-mark-de-roon8320\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Over Mark de Roon\">\n\tOver Mark de Roon<\/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\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>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1570,"featured_media":785,"menu_order":0,"template":"","search-tags":[],"labels":[],"division-tags":[28,29],"class_list":["post-722","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","division-tags-d66-heerlen-lijst","division-tags-fractie-d66-heerlen"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Heerlen &#8212;
