Ik ben politiek actief geworden omdat ik graag een maatschappelijke bijdrage lever en een bijdrage wil leveren aan onze eigen omgeving, zodat iedereen ook in de toekomst fijn in het Westland kan wonen.<br><br>Afgelopen raadsperiode heb ik al als D66 steunraadslid mogen werken aan een<br>beter Westland. Binnen de raadscommissie Maatschappelijke Omgeving (MO)<br>heb ik mezelf toen vooral gefocust op gezondheidsvraagstukken, jeugd en<br>sport. Concrete resultaten zijn bijvoorbeeld aangenomen moties over inclusieve speeltuinen en de toegang tot de Westlandse huisartsenzorg. Deze raadsperiode zet ik dit voort in de raadscommissie Bestuur &amp; Economie, waarbij ik mij vooral zal richten op een innovatief Westland met ook een focus op onze economie en verdienvermogen van de toekomst.<br><br>In het dagelijks leven werk ik als beleidsmedewerker op het Ministerie van<br>Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport. Daar werk ik primair aan innovatie van medische technologie. Daarnaast geef ik in mijn vrije tijd wielertraining aan de jeugd van wielervereniging HSK TRIAS in Den Haag.\t<\/p>  <\/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-people-introduction\">\n\t<div class=\"block-people-introduction__content\">\n\t\t<p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--big\">\n\t\t\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-maarten1829\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Over Maarten\">\n\tOver Maarten<\/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<li><label>Woonplaats<\/label><span>Wateringen<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__email\">\n\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\tStuur Maarten een <a href=\"mailto:maarten@d66westland.nl\">e-mail<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\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\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-1065296029\" 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-historie5813\">\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-1065296029\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-1065296029\">\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>2022 &#8211;
