I invite an open discussion here of the candidates. This is your community, speak openly of who you trust and why.
Well, I'll start off then.
One of the candidates I support is Kim Bruning. He has been willing to honestly engage in a detailed discussion about "free" on Wikipedia and look into my suggestions on improving the encyclopaedia with an open mind. (Some discussions, for example, on your talk page.)
One of the candidates I do not support is Kelly Martin. My first experiences of her was her call for my banning on my RfA based on incorrect premise, followed by failure to amend this call when given proof of her misunderstanding. It must be said that my recent experiences have been more positive though.
