During the podcast, Stenger said:
- He was never worried about the outcome, even when he was down to Republican Rick Stream by 5,000 votes at one point.
- He is open to helping current County Executive Charlie Dooley if the grand jury's decision on an indictment in the killing of Mike Brown comes down before he takes office.
- He believes small municipal police departments will voluntarily use county police in the future.
