Early life and education

Soepboer was born in 1989 in Dokkum, where he also grew up.[2] Soepboer completed the teacher training course in history and geography at NHL Leeuwarden from 2006 to 2011. During his final year of study in September 2010, he became a history and geography teacher at the Liudger Christian School Community where he worked until August 2020.[2]

Political career

Noardeast-Fryslân

At the end of 2017, Soepboer became a member of the FNP, just before the 2018 municipal elections, in which he participated as 16th on the electoral list. Through a campaign in which quality of life in the countryside and upholding traditions, such as supporting the continued use of flat carts in parades (as a result of which many young people voted for him), played an important role, he managed to get into the municipal council of Noardeast-Fryslân with preferential votes.[5]

In the four years that he has been a councillor, Soepboer gained prominence by writing articles in regional and national newspapers about issues such as the housing shortage, building for young people with a socio-economic connection to the area, traditions such as carbide shooting and floats and combating shrinkage.[6] He has also appeared on TV several times, for example in De Hofkar with Rutger Castricum and with Arjen Lubach.

In the 2022 municipal elections, Soepboer became party leader and achieved a victory with the FNP faction in the municipality of Noardeast-Fryslân, making the party the largest party in the municipal council with 8 of the 29 seats.[7] Together with Sociaal in Noardeast (S!N) and Gemeentebelangen Noardeast-Fryslân, the FNP formed the coalition and concluded a "local agreement with the Mienskip" (Mienskip meaning 'community').[8] Soepboer took office as alderman for the FNP together with Bert Koonstra. His portfolio included "mienskip", culture, public space management, and the environment. The Frisian language was also part of his portfolio and he took part in the Шаблон:Lang ('Provincial Administrative consultation Frisian'). On 19 October 2023, Soepboer left his office as alderman to make room for his ambitions in national politics, and was succeeded by Hanneke Jouta.[9]

House of Representatives

In September 2023, Soepboer came in seventh place on the list of candidates of the new NSC party for the 2023 Dutch House of Representatives elections.[10] NSC eventually won 20 seats in the House, and Soepboer was officially sworn in as a member of parliament on 6 December 2023.[11]

Personal life

Soepboer is the drummer of the Frisian folk metal band Baldrs Draumar, a band with a focus of Friesland and Norse mythology.[10]
