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.[1] She previously served as a Member of Parliament for the Christian Democratic Appeal from 2019 to 2021.[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]
