"We have obviously reached a lot of people this year, and I think that is a victory in itself," he said.
Real Representation won 27 seats, finishing ahead of the four other coalitions. One highlight came at 10:10 p.m., when Paul Pierce won a seat that he was nowhere to be found. He walked in about 10 minutes later.
"I had gone to a Royals game that ended up getting rained out," Pierce said. "I am very excited. I'm so surprised that I won. But everyone here is a part of this, and it shows what we can do when we all pull together. All the work has definitely been worth it."

Milligan, whose coalition won two seats, was not available for comment after the results were announced.
Marc LeBean, Jayhawk Pride vice-president candidate, said, "It's funny to listen to people say that we had the most concrete, most sought after ideas and then listen to these results. We accomplished our first goal: to break up the current monotony in the Senate. There is a chance we can work on it. We'll see the most ambitious Senate ever. If it works for the students, that's what we want. If it doesn't, I'll be really sad."

John Fawcett, New Blood vicepresident candidate, said he hoped that New Blood candidates who lost their jobs by trying to influence University affairs.
"They need to get involved in committees on a volunteer basis," he said. "The seeds have been planted. You don't know what it's like to try to put an independent coalition together. I'm just disappointed with the turn-out of independents, but life goes on."
