On 1 April 1982, she became mayor of Beerta and was the first communist mayor in the Netherlands.[3][4] In 1983, she was the first mayor in the Netherlands to receive maternity leave while she was in office.[5] Jagersma did not join GroenLinks, into which the Communist Party merged in 1989.[6] On 1 January 1990, Beerta was merged into Reiderland due to municipal reorganisations, and Jagersma was not appointed mayor of the new municipality.[3][7]
