The CDA member studied Public Administration in Rotterdam. He has long been active in politics in the province of Zeeland. He served as a municipal councillor and alderman in Goes and has been a member of the Provincial Executive of Zeeland since 2015. In 2019 and 2023 he was the CDA\u2019s lead candidate in the Provincial Council elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two other prospective ministers also have a background at Erasmus University. After studying Computer Science, Economics and International Relations in Amsterdam, Eelco Heinen completed a postdoctoral professional programme in financial economic policy at EUR. The VVD member will once again become Minister of Finance in the new cabinet. In the late 1990s, Hans Vijlbrief (D66) briefly worked at Erasmus University as a part-time director of the research centre for financial economic policy.
