Every year, I try to keep just one paragraph of my opinion for the elections as I like to preserve my objective judgement. Once again, I very much thank each person that stands for these elections as it takes a modicum of courage to do so. I believe the ideal candidates are the ones who appreciate change and think resting at status quo is merely a waste of time. While candidates are a many, I think it's due process to select the ones who are most fitting (hence, the elections) and that's where I'll end my personal commentary as you can proceed on to read my opinions below.

15.0 | 18.0 | Has really improved since we've last seen them and I'm glad we have a hard-working editor like them running. A fresh face at the committee will be nice to see, combined with the qualities of the candidate. |
| - | Mostly unimpressive answers, definitely a not yet for DramaCom. | |||

Not going to draw the criticism out here long but I think people have already highlighted the conduct issues. Also, sometimes displays a lack of a NPOV, which is a strict no-no for official positions. | ||

11.0 | 16.0 | A definitely well-intentioned editor but I believe they should give it a rest before hitting all they can in one year. Certainly has experience, but I don't think it will correlate well to ArbCom which is quite, quite not nice. |
| - | 14.0 | 11.0 | Displays maturity with answers and handles things with diplomacy, has the tendency to understand, seems like a good fit. | |

11.0 | 12.0 | Kinda surprised TRM would run for this considering how the bureaucracy has failed him but I think such a face on the committee can introduce some pretty unexpected changes and I'm one for that. Furthermore, TRM has the experience and conduct to back it up, it's just that their stubborness gets to people. |

8.5 | While not a bad candidate overall, Alex leaves me a but unimpressed with those answers and participation in general. Hence, a no-no, for this year. | |
| Premeditated Chaos | |
13.0 | 12.0 | Again, I like how they dealt with the questions and I'm sure they're well-intentioned, I wouldn't jump into it right away considering the experience blemishes and lack there-to; but they're worth considering. |

10.5 | 10.5 | Candidate is well-rounded and the lack of their mistakes at AC actually are pretty good to note, but the lack of paucity of edits and minor misjudgments (my personal opinion) while at their tenure bothers me, such that I might not support them, but I don't think I'll oppose either. |
| Callanecc | |
13.0 | 18.0 | Overall well-rounded editor and displays surprising good judgement at all the places you see them. Already aware of how AC works and no problem seeing them again here. |
| SMcCandlish | |
11.0 | A good editor I've come across here and there - while presenting no major conduct issues, I think the candidate lacks community support due to the issues here and there. Again, I don't think I'll support, but primarily because of the answers to the questions. | |
| Mailer diablo | |
9.0 | Needs to prove a commitment to project before running for DramaCom. Has proven credentials, but I think they should give it a rest. | |
| KrakatoaKatie | |
10.0 | 18.0 | Good and well-behaved editor wherever I've come across them. Pretty sure they're dedicated to this project and I think they fully deserve this. |
| Worm That Turned | |
13.5 | 12.0 | WTT might have been on-and-off but I've found their POV to be mostly neutral and error-free. Also, have proven credentials and all that on-wiki experience will probably be very useful for dispute resolution. |
