Tineke Huizinga

Johanna Catharina "Tineke" Huizinga-Heringa (born 16 February 1960) is a Dutch politician of the Christian Union (CU).

Because of her involvement with social and religious issues, the Reformatory Political Federation asked her to become their top candidate in Heerenveen for the 1998 municipal elections.

The ChristianUnion only got four seats and she was seventh candidate, but because so many voters voted for her she entered parliament at the cost of prominent GPV leader Eimert van Middelkoop.

In parliament she had been occupied with foreign affairs, international development, migration, integration, spatial planning and the environment.

In addition, Huizinga was responsible for market forces in public transport, social safety and cab policy.
