Juliet stands for an Amsterdam that also works for the next generation. A city that doesn’t keep waiting, but dares to choose affordability, safety, and future prospects, especially for the many young people who are currently stuck. As the youngest party leader in Amsterdam, she knows how urgent change is: our generation has grown up in a constant state of crisis, and that is exactly why she believes in European cooperation and politics that dares to build for the future.
What do you want to achieve for Amsterdam?
“I want Amsterdam to once again be a place where you can build your future. Where young people in Amsterdam can find affordable housing, where safety for women is a given, and where people who depend on care, shelter, or support are not forgotten. I want a city where no one has to wait for a future.”
Why Volt?
“Volt is the party that dares to look beyond left and right. We stand for an Amsterdam that builds for the future, chooses solutions, and embraces progress. No symbolism, no delays, but European ambition and solutions that work. From Barcelona to Helsinki and Paris: good ideas know no borders, whether it’s about housing, safety, or economic security. Volt doesn’t want to wait, we just want to do what works.”
What do you do besides your work for the group?
"Alongside my work as party leader, I work at the Ministry of Finance at the Advocacy Office, an organization created to help prevent issues like the childcare benefits scandal. I live in Amsterdam West with a lovely housemate who moved here from elsewhere in Europe for work.
In my free time, I try to contribute as much as possible to people in and beyond the city. For example, I have traveled to Ukraine twice to deliver ambulances and first aid supplies. If you’d like to know more, you can follow me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share the reality of balancing a job with being a party leader, and life as a 29-year-old in Amsterdam."
