Hij groeide op in Limburg en verhuisde naar Delft toen hij Industrieel Ontwerpen ging studeren. Abel heeft stage gelopen bij de Tweede Kamerfractie van D66 en wil zich de komende jaren inzetten voor een stad waar alle studenten zich thuis kunnen voelen en zorgen dat Delft koploper blijft op innovatie.<\/em><br><br>Delft is een stad vol talent, idee\u00ebn en ambitie. Ik wil me inzetten voor een leefbaar Delft waar ruimte is voor groen, duurzaamheid en vernieuwende initiatieven. Een stad waar we slim omgaan met onze omgeving \u00e9n kansen cre\u00ebren voor de toekomst.<br><br>Daarnaast wil ik Delft versterken als d\u00e9 broedplaats van innovatie en kenniseconomie. Met onze kennisinstellingen, ondernemers en creatieve denkers hebben we alles in huis om voorop te blijven lopen. Die positie wil ik koesteren \u00e9n verder uitbouwen.<br><br>Tot slot weet ik uit eigen ervaring hoe het is om naar Delft te verhuizen om hier te studeren. De zoektocht naar een studentenhuis, nieuwe mensen leren kennen en je plek vinden in de stad. Delft is een echte studentenstad, en daarom wil ik mij ook inzetten om de stem van studenten duidelijk te laten horen in de gemeenteraad.\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-2070218905\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Functie historie\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-functie-historie1644\">\n\tFunctie historie<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-2070218905\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-2070218905\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-accordion lists content-accordion__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\"><li><label>2026 &#8211;
