Biography

De Boer served as a reservist in the Dutch navy before becoming a businessman. He worked for the Nedlloyd shipping company and then as the president of the European Waterways Transport (EWT). He was a member of the VVD before joining the LPF. de Boer served as part of the first Balkenende cabinet as minister for Transport and Water Management and later as Deputy Prime Minister following the resignation of Eduard Bomhoff.[1] During his time in politics, he campaigned for the prices of rail tickets to be lowered and for smaller fines for mild speeding offenses.[2]

Following the collapse of the first Balkenende cabinet, he returned to working as a public administrator for Royal Dutch Transport (KNV) and as chairman for the Value8 business investment group. He attempted a return to politics in 2006 by standing for the municipal elections in Rotterdam, but resigned due to health problems.[3]
