Click said that he attributes his win to “honesty, integrity and hard work.” Click won 21,750 votes (58.57%) to beat Democratic Party opponent Aaron Jones, who received 15,386 votes (41.43%). “I think this election has been different, and it’s been different from all the other three because all the other three were policy-based, and we won on the issues,” Click said. “This election, they didn’t just throw the kitchen sink — they threw the slime that went down the sewers at me.

Within Sandusky County, Click received 12,879 votes (57.95%), to the 9,345 votes (42.05%) received by Jones.
