The race for Washoe County Sheriff was very close, but in the end, Chuck Allen edged out Tim Kuzanek with just 50% of the vote.
The result came down to 800 votes.
"It's an incredible experience. The people I have had faith in----the voters had faith in me. It was proven today when the majority of the votes were in our favor," Allen told Channel 2 News.
And while current Washoe County Undersheriff Tim Kuzanek did not win, he says the experience was great for him and he had learned a lot.
“One of the best things about going through this process is we have just had a good time. I know that I have gotten closer to my wife and daughter through this process.”
Allen says his first order of business is taking a break before starting his new job.
