Julius Huibert Terpstra (born 21 February 1989) is a Dutch politician, who served as a member of the House of Representatives in the years 2020–21.
[9] During his tenure, he advocated for a constitutional requirement for a balanced budget, increasing spending on defense, banning the sale of tobacco in supermarkets, and reinstituting conscription.
[14] Terpstra stepped down as chair on January 1, 2017, to focus on his job and his campaign to become a member of the House of Representatives.
After Erik Ronnes had vacated his seat to join North Brabant's provincial-executive, Terpstra was sworn in as MP on 20 May 2020.
In July 2020, Terpstra introduced a motion, which was approved unanimously by the House, calling for the consideration of previous rent payments when applying for a mortgage.
This would make it easier to get financing for a house for people who have already been paying rent at a higher or similar level as the mortgage would be.
[24] He has also unsuccessfully called for the interior minister to force Utrecht to build 25,000–30,000 homes in the polders Rijnenburg and Reijerscop.
Its website stated that voters might think twice about voting for the CDA nationally, but that the local party is allowed to be different due to the lack of Kim Jung Hoekstra practices, combining the names of party leader Wopke Hoekstra and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
[30] The CDA lost one of its three seats – following national polling trends – and Terpstra was sworn into the council on 30 March.
Additionally, he suggested restricting the splitting of houses into student residences as well as mandating that landlords apply for a permit in certain neighborhoods to ensure good renting practices.
[38] Terpstra was offered a seat in the House of Representatives following the resignation of Raymond Knops in February 2023.
