My name is Ruud Knol, born July 26, 1994 in Hoorn. I have now lived happily in the beautiful Weststellingwerf for 24 years.
Since 2018, I have been an active councilor for Jouw Stellingwarfs. An exciting period from which I learned a lot. However, I have been politically active since 2006, when I was a volunteer at a national political party. In addition to my council membership, I am a manager at a large organization. On behalf of Stay StellingwarfsI have many conversations with ordinary and special people, I make working visits, read a lot and meet several times a week to represent your interests as a voter.I stood for election at Jouw Stellingwarfs at the time, because I believe that more attention should be paid to the ''small'' villages in Weststellingwerf and we believe that the residents should be central to local policy. We trust in the own strength, knowledge and skills of the villages and neighborhoods.
In the past period I have done a lot of work for residents with a tight budget. Choices we make as a municipal council must be ''feasible and affordable''. I think that little account is taken of residents who have a tight budget. This could include increasing the municipal burden.Further attention was paid to a safe living/working environment, immigration policy, a more attractive shopping center and a ''fair'' energy and heat transition''.
In the coming period I will commit myself to:
- Poverty
- Culture and immigration
- Climate and nature
- Social domain
- Safety
- Living
Do you have any questions, would you like to talk to me or perhaps something else?
In the coming weeks I can be found everywhere in the municipality with Ingo. Feel free to contact us! We can also be reached via email: r.knol@blijfstellingwarfs.nl, Instagram and Facebook.
