Jesse Six Dijkstra (born 23 September 1994) is a Dutch politician who was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2023 general election.[1] He worked at the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) prior to entering politics. A member of the New Social Contract (NSC) party, his focus is on digital affairs and national security.[2] Responding to a personnel shortage in prisons, he worked with Joost Sneller (D66) and Derk Boswijk (CDA) on a bill to allow courts to impose house arrest and electronic ankle monitoring as an alternative to short prison sentences. They also argued that it would help lower the risk of repeat offenses.[3]
