Lammert van Raan (born 3 February 1962) is a Dutch politician currently serving as a member of the House of Representatives.[1][2][3] Previously, he served as member of the water board of Amstel, Gooi and Vecht and the municipal council of Amsterdam.[4] In 2015, Van Raan joined the States-Provincial of North Holland, where he served as member until his election to the House of Representatives in 2017.[5]

Van Raan, born in a family of entrepreneurs, originally supported the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, but after his wife, Lieke Keller, co-founded the Party for the Animals (PvdD), he got more involved with left-wing politics and eventually joined the PvdD.[4] A key reason for this switch was global warming, saying: "We're messing up the Earth, but I stay optimistic."[3]
