Wat moet er gebeuren? Simpelweg omdat het door de overheid wettelijk wordt opgelegd of vanwege veiligheidsaspecten. Op welke manier wordt een project ge\u00efmplementeerd? Is de lokale overheid bepalend of hebben burgers in de processen inspraak en worden ze vroegtijdig ge\u00efnformeerd? Hoe wordt de balans gezocht tussen een fijne en veilige leefomgeving, natuur en recreatie, bedrijfsleven en toerisme? Al deze dynamieken komen vaak in de openbare ruimte samen en dat intrigeert mij.<br><br>Ik ben ge\u00efnteresseerd in zaken die spelen in mijn gemeente en natuurlijk in mijn eigen woonplaats Thorn. Daarom speelde ik al langer met de gedachte om \u201ciets\u201d in de lokale politiek te gaan doen. Ik kom niet uit een politiek nest en weet niets over de politieke gang van zaken. Tijdens de laatste gemeentelijke verkiezingen heb ik op D66 gestemd omdat ik me bij deze partij het meest \u2018thuis\u2019 voel, vanwege haar sociaal-liberaal signatuur. D66 in Maasgouw die staat voor een dorpsraad in alle kernen, een generiek basisinkomen in plaats van toeslagen, gelijke kansen voor iedereen met aandacht voor zorg en wonen en anticiperend op de klimaatverandering. Stuk voor stuk onderwerpen waar ik mij hard voor zou willen maken.<br><br>Daarom heb ik contact gezocht met Caroline van Velzen en gekeken op welke wijze ik mij voor D66 zou kunnen inzetten. Nu ga ik me in de politieke arena begeven om samen te werken aan een leefbaar, duurzaam en vitaal Maasgouw.\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-10484412\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Functie historie\" 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-functie-historie1954\">\n\tFunctie historie<\/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-10484412\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-10484412\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-accordion lists content-accordion__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\"><li><label>2024-heden<\/label><span>Lid steunfractie D66-Maasgouw<\/span><\/li><li><label>2015-2023<\/label><span>Eigen coachingspraktijk Reflex-coaching in Thorn<\/span><\/li><li><label>2009-heden<\/label><span>Communicatiemedewerker bij Hehacu Thorn<\/span><\/li><li><label>2008-2024<\/label><span>Marketing- en communicatiemedewerker bij Kragten Herten<\/span><\/li><li><label>2003-2008<\/label><span>Co\u00f6rdinator Secretariaat bij Kragten Herten<\/span><\/li><li><label>1998-2003<\/label><span>Directiesecretaresse bij ETF Machinefabriek Nederweert en Koval Ittervoort<\/span><\/li><li><label>1991-1998<\/label><span>Afdelingssecretaresse bij Rank Xerox in Venray<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\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":362,"featured_media":936,"menu_order":4,"template":"","search-tags":[],"labels":[],"division-tags":[28,32],"class_list":["post-934","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","division-tags-fractie","division-tags-kandidaten-gemeenteraadsverkiezingen-2026"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Maasgouw &#8212;
