While I will avoid changes for the worse, I will continue getting community feedback on meta(both MSO and AU.meta) and possibly request features on MSO to help with moderation, or help explain the MSO process to interested users.

After that I might start throwing out ideas or ways the site could be enhanced, which probably the older mods have already thought of many of them

We already have an established group of moderators and a good chunk of policies. There is few room for change overall. But in this small space, I hope my philosophy on relying on the community's decisions and using meta a lot more do get spread.

On the one hand, no one person will make the "big difference" - as that is the result of all of our collective efforts. If I'm elected, things will largely continue as usual, however, we will now have an extra pair of eyes and hands to keep the engine of this site running smoothly, and some users (such as those who speak other languages and don't realize the site only allows English) - will be able to get a better experience (since I believe in going out of the way to help everyone). Otherwise, I can't really say that my being elected will directly change the site in a visible way - it would be overstepping my boundaries with regards to pride to say so :).

I'd like to see more migrations, and small adjustments in certain things, like the burden of proof on self promotion, but I think i'd adjust my way of doing things more than try to change things here
