Mijn hele leven speelt zich hier al af: van mijn eerste stappen tot aan het huis waar ik nu woon met mijn vriend en ons hondje. Tijdens mijn studie Geschiedenis aan de Rijks Universiteit Groningen heb ik een uitstap gemaakt naar Groningen en Amerika, maar na mijn studie ben ik weer teruggegaan naar Drachten. Met mijn familie ook in de buurt, is mijn verbondenheid met Smallingerland diep geworteld. Voor mij is Drachten niet zomaar een woonplaats; het is de plek waar mijn fundament ligt en waar ik mij onvermoeibaar voor wil inzetten.\u00a0<br><br><strong>Waarom de raad?\u00a0<\/strong><br>Politiek gaat over keuzes van vandaag die bepalen hoe we morgen leven. Ik vind het essentieel dat de gemeenteraad een echte afspiegeling is van de samenleving. Als dertiger sta ik midden in het leven en behoor ik tot een generatie die de langetermijngevolgen van huidige besluiten direct gaat ervaren.\u00a0<br>Ik wil de stem zijn voor (jonge) vrouwen en inwoners die zich nu nog niet altijd gehoord voelen. Representatie is voor mij geen modewoord, maar een noodzaak: we hebben diverse perspectieven nodig om tot de beste oplossingen voor Smallingerland te komen. Van de levendigheid op het Raadhuisplein tot de rust in de buitengebieden: ik wil dat Smallingerland een plek blijft waar iedereen zich veilig en welkom voelt.<br><br><strong>Wat zijn drie zaken die jij als raadslid wil veranderen?\u00a0<\/strong><br><strong>\u00b7 Veiligheid als basis<\/strong>: Iedereen in onze gemeente moet zich vrij en veilig kunnen voelen. Of je nu \u2019s avonds laat naar huis fietst, je hond uitlaat of gewoon thuis bent: veiligheid is een basisrecht. Ik maak me sterk voor een omgeving waar we naar elkaar omkijken en waar preventie en handhaving hand in hand gaan.\u00a0<br>\u00b7 <strong>Wonen voor iedereen:<\/strong> De woningmarkt staat onder druk, ook in onze regio. Ik zet me in voor voldoende en betaalbare woningen, zodat jongeren in hun eigen dorp kunnen blijven wonen en starters een eerlijke kans krijgen op een fijne plek in Smallingerland.\u00a0<br><strong>\u00b7 Cultuur en sport voor iedereen: <\/strong>Kunst, cultuur en sport zijn geen luxe, maar een noodzaak voor een gezonde en verbonden samenleving. Ik wil dat cultuur laagdrempelig is, bijvoorbeeld door Schouwburg De Lawei toegankelijker te maken voor onze eigen lokale muziekverenigingen. Daarnaast moet sporten voor iedereen haalbaar blijven, ik zou graag het sportfonds uitbreiden en kijken naar mogelijkheden dat de zaalhuur voor kleinere verenigingen betaalbaar blijft. Of je nu op het sportveld staat of van een voorstelling geniet: in Smallingerland doet iedereen mee.<br><br><strong>Lievelingsplek in je gemeente<\/strong><br>Ik hou heel erg van het water dus \u00e9\u00e9n van mijn favoriete plekken in Smallingerland is De Leijen. Ik ben er als kind vaak geweest, maar ook nu kom ik er nog graag in de zomer. Lekker zwemmen of van de mooie natuur genieten.\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-867082692\" 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-1516\">\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-867082692\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-867082692\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\tVeiligheid, wonen, cultuur en sport\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-3327129451\" 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-historie5234\">\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-3327129451\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-3327129451\">\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>2024-2025<\/label><span>Secretaris van het bestuur<\/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":593,"featured_media":901,"menu_order":94,"template":"","labels":[],"search-tags":[],"division-tags":[],"class_list":["post-777","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Smallingerland &#8212;
