Marleen W. Haage (born 26 April 1980) is a Dutch politician who served as a member of the House of Representatives for GroenLinks–PvdA between December 2024 and November 2025. A police administrator and public safety educator, she was on the Utrecht Municipal Council for the Labour Party (PvdA) from 2010 to 2018.

Early life and education

[edit]

Haage was born in the village of Bennekom and grew up in Arnhem. Her father was a civil servant and her mother a school social worker. One of her grandfathers was a police officer.[1]

After graduating from the atheneum of the Thorbecke Scholengemeenschap, she moved to Utrecht to study general social science at Utrecht University in 1999, having also considered applying for a job with the police instead.[1] During her studies, Haage was a member of student association Unitas S.R. [nl] and the youth wing of the Labour Party, the Young Socialists, where she was on the national board at the time of the assassination of Pim Fortuyn in 2002.[1][2] She worked as a staffer for member of parliament Staf Depla [nl] for 2.5 years, and she completed her studies in 2006.[3]

Career

[edit]

Haage started her career as a project leader for the Utrecht police department before moving to a public safety consultancy firm in 2008. She started working as an integrated safety teacher at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht three years later.[1][3][4] Haage was elected the Utrecht Municipal Council in March 2010 as the Labour Party's third candidate. She was re-elected in March 2014, and she became her party's parliamentary leader.[5][3] She left the council and HU in June 2017 to work as an adviser for the National Police Corps.[3][6][7] She later advised the police's Rotterdam unit, and she became its sector head in 2020.[3][8]

Haage ran for the House of Representatives in November 2023 as the 26th candidate on the shared GroenLinks–PvdA list.[9] She was not elected, as the party won 25 seats.[10] On 18 December 2024, she was sworn in as member of parliament following the resignation of Senna Maatoug.[9] Haage's portfolio included pensions, child care, and the aftermath of the childcare benefits scandal.[11] She was not re-elected in October 2025, and her term ended on 11 November.[12]
