Responding to Patrick's resolve to contest the election results in court, he said, "That’s an option less for him that one can’t really say.

I would have wished that for someone that had been voted for three different times by the constituents and for them to actually show willingness to change this time around, I think he needs to accept the fate and probably move on to something else."

"He is a fine gentleman; he’s got very good political experience. I think he can move up and there is every opportunity for him to move up within his party or within the political ladder itself," he noted.
