A member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie, VVD), he focused his parliamentary work on matters of foreign policy and the Armed forces of the Netherlands.

After winning a parliamentary seat in the general election of 2006 he was reelected in 2010, 2012 and 2017.
