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]
