Wytske Liselotte Postma (born 16 April 1977) is a Dutch politician. She served as a member of the House of Representatives for the Christian Democratic Appeal from 2019 to 2021 and for the New Social Contract from 2023 to 2025.[1]
Political career
She was the NSC's spokesperson for climate, energy, economic affairs, mining, and aviation.[2] 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.[3]
