A member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), he served as ad interim Mayor of The Hague from the resignation of Pauline Krikke on 6 October 2019 until the formal appointment and swearing in of Johan Remkes as Acting Mayor of The Hague on 12 October 2019.

In 2012, Revis was elevated to an aldermanship following the appointment of Sander Dekker as a State Secretary at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

First Deputy Mayor Richard de Mos, under criminal investigation, stood down.

Upon De Mos's subsequent removal through a motion of no confidence, Revis became First Deputy Mayor of The Hague.

The title of First Deputy Mayor of The Hague went to alderwoman and fellow party member Kavita Parbhudayal.
