In October 2015, she took a job at theMinistry of Infrastructure and the Environment as head of thedrones team of the aviation division.[6][3] Michon returned to the interior and kingdom relations ministry in 2018 to head the bureau of the director-general of the Central Government Real Estate Agency. She left that position, when she became a member of parliament in 2021.[3]
Michon has also been serving on the boards of both Festival Classique, a classical music festival, and De Ooievaart, which offers boat tours in The Hague, since 2018.[9]
Michon joined the VVD in 2000 and was that party's third candidate inThe Hague in the2014 municipal elections.[10][11] She was elected to the municipal council and served as vice caucus leader of the VVD.[12] Her focus was on security, social affairs, poverty, and outdoor spaces.[5] Michon decided not to run forre-election in 2018, because she was offered a worse place on theparty list than in 2014.[13][14]
She ran for member of parliament in the2021 general election, being placed twentieth on the VVD's party list. She was elected with 1,654preference votes and was sworn into theHouse of Representatives on 31 March.[15] Michon became the VVD's spokesperson for primary and secondary education, aviation, water, and shipping, but her specialties were changed shortly after to police, fire brigade, thePublic Prosecution Service, border protection, counter-terrorism, theNCTV, disaster and crisis management, national security, drug policy, and sex offenses.[16][17] In the House, Michon voiced her opposition to repatriating Dutch women who had joined theIslamic State, saying that they should be tried in the region. However, she later conceded that it would be preferable to try them in the Dutch judicial system if no other option is available.[18] She also proposed to prohibitdoxing – the practice of publishing private information – leading the cabinet to work on a ban.[19]
Following theNovember 2023 general election, Michon's portfolio remained similar.[20] She wrote a policy memorandum containing proposals to crack down onfootball hooliganism. She suggested that football clubs should reimburse costs for extraordinary security and that theRoyal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) should help implement tighter measures to prevent those with stadium bans from entering. She also sought to criminalize supporters entering thepitch andlip-syncing racist and insulting chants.[21][22] In line with thecoalition agreement's commitment to take stricter action against disruptive demonstrations, Michon announced several proposals during a January 2025 debate.[23] She argued that demonstrations should not be used to commit criminal offenses, and she advocated for measures such as prohibiting blockades of major infrastructure, allowing mayors to ban protests near commemoration ceremonies, better tracking the identities of participants in illegal demonstrations, and requiring demonstrators to pay for any damages.[24][25] In the discussion to prohibitconsumer fireworks duringNew Year, Michon upheld her party's opposition. According to her, a ban would not address violence against first responders, as such incidents often involved heavy fireworks already prohibited by law.[26]
In 2000, Michon moved from Arnhem to The Hague, where she has since been living with her husband. They have three children, two of which are twins.[5][10]
