Judith Johanna Marianne Uitermark (born 20 September 1971) is a Dutch judge and politician of the Christian democratic New Social Contract (NSC) party.[1]
Life[edit]
Uitermark was born in Edam in North Holland.[2] Before entering national politics, Uitermark was a criminal judge. A proponent of mediation between perpetrators and victims, she served as National Coordinator for Mediation in Criminal Cases. She sat on the Haarlem Municipal Council on behalf of Christian Democratic Appeal from 1998 until 2001.[3]
She met Pieter Omtzigt, who had just founded New Social Contract, in September 2023, and she switched her party affiliation to become the party's third candidate in the November 2023 general election.
