Matthew Klein said that it was the first time that he had run for election. He was grateful to his supporters who helped him campaign and to the other candidates, whom he said ran a civilized campaign. They each had respect for each other, he explained.

Klein added that he thought he would continue to reach out to Dwayne Dill "for his experience and his advice."
