Marcus Leonardus "Mark" Verheijen (born 14 August 1976 in Baarlo, Netherlands) is a Dutch politician of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie). He was Vice Chairman of that party from 2008 till 2012 and interim Chairman from 4 August 2010 to 20 May 2011.[1] Between 20 September 2012 and 27 February 2015 he was an MP.
Previously he was a member of the municipal councils of Grubbenvorst and Venlo, an alderman and vice-mayor of Venlo from 2006 to 2011, a member of the provincial parliament of Limburg, and a member of the provincial executive of Limburg from 2011 to 2012.
Verheijen studied history, philosophy and law at Radboud University Nijmegen. He worked as a management consultant at Deloitte & Touche.
In 2015 information surfaced that Verheijen possibly wrongly claimed expenses in 2011 and 2012. Both private expenses and campaign-related party political expenses were claimed as expenses incurred during his work as a representative in the Provincial Parliament of Limburg.[2] The Province of Limburg had an external organization investigate whether Verheijen's expenses charges were appropriate, the organization concluded that they were appropriate.[3] Because of the turmoil in the media Verheijen resigned as an MP on 27 February 2015.[4]
Nowadays Verheijen is a consultant, writer and columnist for a Dutch newspaper. In July 2020 he published the book Wij kennen Amerika helemaal niet. Een reis door het land van de Trump-stemmers, about the US Presidential Elections.[5]
