Dit is te danken aan een goed team van fractieleden en fractieondersteuners. Laat ik voorop stellen dat het een plezier is om aan mensen met ambitie leiding te geven.<br>Bij de vorige verkiezingen ben ik zonder ervaring (als lokaal politicus of als politiek leider) in gestapt.<br>Het was toen een weg van veel uitzoeken en uitproberen. Dat dit geen windeieren heeft gelegd bewijst wel dat we met twee zetels als nieuwkomer in de raad gekozen zijn.<br>Inmiddels heb ik ervaring opgedaan en wil deze nogmaals inzetten voor de komende verkiezingen en daarna wederom als raadslid.<br>Als aanvoerder van onze club geloof ik in de kracht van samenwerking op alle fronten. Gesteund en gevoed door vele gremia hebben we in de afgelopen drie jaar ondervonden dat dit werkt. We bereiken goede resultaten voor onze inwoners. Ik investeer dan ook veel tijd in samenwerkingsrelaties binnen de raad maar ook buiten de raad om D66 Goirle goed te positioneren en maak hiervoor gebruik van mijn netwerk.\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-20643060\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Expertises (portefeuilles)\" 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-expertises--portefeuilles-9734\">\n\tExpertises (portefeuilles)<\/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-20643060\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-20643060\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\tZorg, gezondheid en sport<br \/>\r\nVrijheid en gelijkheid<br \/>\r\nWerk en inkomen<br \/>\r\nVeiligheid en criminaliteit<br \/>\r\nDemocratie en bestuur<br \/>\r\nKunst, cultuur en media\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-2446905505\" 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-historie3026\">\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-2446905505\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-2446905505\">\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>2018 &#8211;
