Niet door alles ingewikkelder te maken, maar door goed te luisteren, scherpe keuzes te maken en praktische oplossingen te zoeken.<br>In mijn werk zie ik dagelijks hoe belangrijk het is dat beleid aansluit op de werkelijkheid van mensen die het moeten doen. Van de ondernemer met een paar medewerkers tot het mkb-bedrijf met 150 mensen: iedereen loopt tegen regels, personeelstekorten, ruimtegebrek en onzekerheid aan. Juist daarom geloof ik in politiek die niet alleen praat over plannen, maar ook kijkt of die plannen werken aan de keukentafel, op de werkvloer en in de straat.<br>\u00a0<br>Ik woon\u00a0nu 3 jaar\u00a0in\u00a0Zevenaar\u00a0en\u00a0vind het belangrijk om\u00a0betrokken\u00a0te zijn bij wat er speelt in Zevenaar.\u00a0Wat mij aanspreekt\u00a0aan het wonen in Zevenaar zijn de voorzieningen, de gemeente Zevenaar heeft veel te bieden. Daarnaast\u00a0ben ik ook erg te spreken over de hoeveelheid groen\u00a0in\u00a0mijn buurt de\u00a0Zonegge.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Tegelijkertijd staan we voor grote keuzes. Over wonen, bereikbaarheid, voorzieningen, energie, werk en de manier waarop inwoners worden betrokken bij besluiten.<br>\u00a0<br>In het dagelijks leven werk ik bij Techniek Nederland. Daar houd ik mij bezig met strategie, beleid en relatiebeheer voor de installatiebranche. Die branche staat midden in de grote opgaven van deze tijd: verduurzaming, woningbouw, netcongestie, vakmensen en betaalbaarheid. Daardoor kijk ik met een praktische blik naar politiek. Mooie ambities zijn belangrijk, maar uiteindelijk moet iemand ze kunnen uitvoeren.<br>Mijn drijfveer is om ondernemen leuker en makkelijker te maken. Voor zzp\u2019ers, voor familiebedrijven en voor mkb\u2019ers die elke dag proberen hun bedrijf, medewerkers en klanten vooruit te helpen. Dat vraagt om duidelijke regels, betrouwbare overheid en bestuurders die snappen wat hun besluiten in de praktijk betekenen.<br>\u00a0<br>Voor D66 Zevenaar wil ik bijdragen aan een gemeente die vooruit durft te kijken. Een gemeente die bouwt aan voldoende woningen, goede voorzieningen, goede bereikbaarheid\u00a0en\u00a0voldoende\u00a0ruimte voor ondernemers. Maar ook een gemeente die inwoners serieus neemt. Niet pas als alles al besloten is, maar juist aan het begin.<br>\u00a0<br>Ik geloof in een nuchtere manier van politiek bedrijven. Minder grote woorden, meer concrete stappen. Niet blijven hangen in wat niet kan, maar eerlijk zeggen wat lastig is en vervolgens zoeken naar wat w\u00e9l kan.\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-445243401\" 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-9503\">\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-445243401\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-445243401\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\u2022 Ondernemerschap en mkb<br \/>\r\n\u2022 Economie en arbeidsmarkt<br \/>\r\n\u2022 Techniek, verduurzaming en uitvoering<br \/>\r\n\u2022 Participatie en praktisch bestuur\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-528188403\" 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-historie4950\">\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-528188403\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-528188403\">\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>2026 &#8211;
