Reece concedes but says she's just beginning

At 9:30 p.m., Alicia Reece made her first appearance before her supporters after the polls closed to announce she had lost -- but wasn't giving up.

Reece was fourth and told the crowd she appreciated their help but said that big money beat her small money, telling them vaguely that "this is just a beginning."

When asked what that meant, Reece said she would always be active in politics but wouldn't say for certain that, at age 34, she would seek public office again.
