"You know first I want to congratulate Jerry and Debi. I plan on working with them, I hope they want to work with me. I'm sure we could make a good team. We have to move Lackawanna County forward. So you know in the next few weeks I'm sure we'll be talking and figure out where we are going to go from here," said Chermak.

As for Chermak's running mate, Mike Giannetta says he will support the commissioner elect with anything he needs during his term.
