I want to thank my family, my friends, my team of Republicans who have helped me and guided me through this campaign because I certainly could not have done it on my own. It's a big county.\" \"This is definitely not the last time you're going to see me running for something, that's for certain,\" Clark said. \"My uncle, Judge Joe McCloskey, didn't win on his first election, and neither did Tim Holden's father on his first, and look what they did with their careers. So, I feel confident that there are only good things in my future, and I hope the county sees that as well and get the right people in the positions.\"
