Anne Kuik (born 22 January 1987) is a Dutch politician of Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA). She has been a member of the Dutch House of Representatives since 23 March 2017.

Early life and education

Kuik grew up in Nieuw-Amsterdam in the province of Drenthe.[1] From 1999 to 2005, Kuik attended grammar school at the Hondsrug College in Emmen. From 2005 to 2013 she studied Dutch law at the University of Groningen. She graduated in civil law and constitutional and administrative law. During her studies she was a member of student association RKSV Albertus Magnus.[1][2]

Career

During her student years, she was a member of the CDA faction in the

wethouder (alderman) for traffic and culture for D66 in Groningen. Between January 2015 and October 2016 she was also a presenter on NPO Radio 1 at the Evangelische Omroep of, among others, Dit is de Nacht.[4]

For the

In 2018, she was the first Dutch parliamentarian to sign the Barcelona Declaration, which encourages the fight against tuberculosis. Because of this signature she was known as tering-ambassadeur (tering being a pejorative archaism of tuberculosis).[7] As a spokesperson in the field of prostitution policy, Kuik advocated a ban on paid sex, following the Swedish model, in September 2020.[8] To expose abuses in prostitution, Kuik also launched the podcast Vrouw te koop? ('Woman for sale?').[9] In the run-up to the parliamentary inquiry into natural gas extraction in Groningen, Kuik was part of the temporary committee that had to prepare this at the end of 2020.[10]

At the House of Representatives elections in March 2021, Kuik was third on the CDA candidate list. She received 32,945 preference votes, above the preference threshold. Her portfolio remained virtually the same, but focused on security and terrorism instead of secondary vocational education.[11] After already having worked on the preparations, Kuik was part of the parliamentary inquiry committee for natural gas extraction in Groningen.[12] Since April 2021, she has also been a member of the Presidium of the House of Representatives.[13] Kuik went on maternity leave on 3 May until 22 August 2022.[14]

Personal life

Kuik married former Groningen councilor Paul de Rook (D66) in July 2018. The civil wedding was performed by then D66 councilor Ton Schroor. The church wedding was performed by then CDA party chairman Ruth Peetoom.[15] On 8 June 2022, De Rook and Kuik became parents of a daughter.
