Naast zijn werk studeert hij aan Maastricht University. Hij is betrokken binnen het Heerlense verenigingsleven als voorzitter van de Scheidsrechtersvereniging De Mijnstreek en bestuurslid van de voetbalvereniging Groene Ster Heerlerheide. Binnen D66 is hij actief als raadscommissielid, fractiemedewerker van D66 Limburg en tot voor kort ook als bestuurslid van D66 Parkstad.<br><br><strong>Positieve lijn doortrekken<\/strong><br>Tom Dragstra: \u201cGraag wil ik de leden bedanken voor het in mij gestelde vertrouwen. Met veel energie en enthousiasme ga ik aan de slag voor onze stad. In de afgelopen decennia heeft Heerlen flinke stappen voorwaarts gemaakt, maar we staan ook voor grote uitdagingen. De nasleep van de coronacrisis voor onder andere ondernemers, jongeren en verenigingen, maar ook de energietransitie, kansenongelijkheid, herontwikkeling van het centrum en behoud van voorzieningen in onze wijken. Met vertrouwen en ambitie gaan we deze uitdagingen tegemoet. Heerlen heeft van Bekkerveld tot Heerlerheide en van Heerlerbaan tot Hoensbroek grote ontwikkelingen doorgemaakt, deze positieve lijn gaan we doortrekken.\u201d<br><br><strong>Progressieve groene golf<\/strong><br>Binnen de afdeling Parkstad en in de rest van Limburg is het aantal nieuwe leden van D66 behoorlijk gegroeid. Ook komt er op veel plaatsen in Limburg een nieuwe generatie sociaal-liberalen op die met enthousiasme en vol lef toekomstgerichte keuzes willen maken. Samen met onze leden gaan we aan de slag om Heerlen een nog mooiere stad te maken.\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--50 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--70 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--50  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--18 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-post-content\">\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__title\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"heading  heading__color--black heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold  block-post-content__heading\" id=\"nav-4777\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"\">\n\t<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__content\">\n\t\t\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--30 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--24 wrapper__width-mobile--24\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--50 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--70 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--50  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--18 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-post-content\">\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__title\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"heading  heading__color--black heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold  block-post-content__heading\" id=\"nav-7627\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"\">\n\t<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__content\">\n\t\t\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--30 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--24 wrapper__width-mobile--24\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--24 wrapper__width-mobile--24\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-lists  block-lists__color--black\">\n\t\t<p class=\"paragraph  paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default\">\n\t\t\t<\/p><ul class=\"block-lists lists__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\">\n\t<\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":905,"featured_media":802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"labels":[],"search-tags":[12,26],"class_list":["post-437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-d66","search-tags-democratie-bestuur","search-tags-lokaal"],"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;
