Career

Revis entered the municipal council of The Hague for the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy in 2008 before he assumed the party group's leadership in 2010. In 2012, Revis was elevated to an aldermanship following the appointment of Sander Dekker as a State Secretary at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

In 2019, he assumed the mayorship ad interim as Second Deputy Mayor of The Hague. First Deputy Mayor Richard de Mos, under criminal investigation, stood down. Upon De Mos's subsequent removal through a motion of no confidence, Revis became First Deputy Mayor of The Hague. After he left office in 2020, his portfolio for finance, urban development and the Scheveningen city district was taken over by Anne Mulder, who left the House of Representatives to fill the position. The title of First Deputy Mayor of The Hague went to alderwoman and fellow party member Kavita Parbhudayal.^[1][2]
