Pouw-Verweij has been a provincial councillor of Utrecht since March 2019 and was a Senator from June 2019 until March 2021 (with an interruption due to pregnancy). Since March 2021 she has also been an MP.[1]

As a Senator she left the FVD party on 26 November 2020 and became a member of the Van Pareren group on 30 November 2020, which name was changed into the Nanninga group on 15 February 2021 (both groups are affiliated with the JA21 party).[1] Pouw-Verweij and seven other FVD Senators left the party and formed the Van Pareren group because of controversial statements uttered by FVD leader Thierry Baudet.[2]

Pouw-Verweij studied medicine at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and is working on a PhD in rheumatology at the VU University Medical Center.[3]
