Wytske Liselotte Postma (born 16 April 1977) is a Dutch politician from the New Social Contract who was elected to the Dutch Parliament in the 2023 Dutch general election. She is the party's spokesperson for climate and green growth. She previously served as a Member of Parliament for the Christian Democratic Appeal from 2019 to 2021.
Political career
In 2023, she was appointed acting chair of the Infrastructure and Water Management Committee. At Postma's urging, State Secretary Jurgen Nobel promised to extend a scheme reimbursing energy costs for low-income households, established in response to the global energy crisis, into 2025. However, Nobel failed to reach an agreement with energy suppliers and civil society organizations about its funding.
