Marco Peters

Marco Peters (CDA) has been Alderman of the Municipality of Heerlen since 2022.

"I was born in Nieuw-Einde and grew up there, and in Heerlerheide. Now I live together in Heerlen with my girlfriend Uliana and our dog Molly.

At the age of 18, I decided to go into politics. I wanted to make a difference for the people of our city. My parents and grandparents are my great role models in this. They taught me very young how important it is to be involved in one's own environment, street, neighborhood or city. And especially to have an eye for each other.

In 2010, I became a council member for the first time. Later, I also became our party's group chairman on the city council. All this time, I actively sought contact with our residents. Hundreds of times I went to people's homes to hear what was going on and address issues. Politics as close as possible to our residents, that is my starting point, also now. It is a great honor and privilege that I may now serve the city and its residents as Alderman. The most important thing is to make neighborhoods and districts stronger. After all, that is where most of our lives take place. A clean, safe and green neighborhood with enough amenities where people enjoy living.

It's a huge challenge. But really, it should be taken for granted everywhere in our city. That's what I stand for!"
