My friend Nic Kipke has demonstrated that no matter how great the task he can always get the job done! Nic is a man of integrity who will always be there for the citizens of Anne Arundel County.

Nic Kipke is honest, bright and a professional person with a history of community and civic involvement. As a lifelong resident of Anne Arundel County and District 31 he has the community’s needs and concerns at heart. He has my full support.
Councilman Ron Dillon

Common sense Marylanders understand that illegal immigration is wrong and costing Maryland taxpayers millions each year. As the lead opponent of pro-illegal alien policies in Annapolis, I'm proud to tell the voters in District 31 have a strong ally in Delegate Nic Kipke. He's worked hard with me to end driver's licenses for illegals, stood up for English as our official language, and voted against taxpayer funding for illegal alien cover groups like CASA de Maryland. I strongly urger voters to vote for Nic Kipke.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Nic Kipke for almost ten years. He is an established leader in the Pasadena and Glen Burnie community and more importantly he is a strong Republican leader that the citizens of District 31 can trust to represent them in Annapolis. Nic is the right man for the job..

I have known Nic Kipke for about a decade and have firsthand knowledge that he is honest, hard working and a man of high moral values. Nic has been helping parents like me, who have children with autistic spectrum disorders as we work to broaden awareness and reduce the numbers of children affected. Nic has a great ability to get things accomplished in Annapolis and has proved to be a valuable asset. Nic Kipke is a strong advocate for the health and safety of our children. I, along with many other concerned parents of children with autism, endorse Nic Kipke as a candidate for Delegate.

I have known Nic Kipke since he was a young teenager. I am especially proud that I am among those whose counsel he sought when he considered contributing to community life through political service. I offered Nic only three words: "Always be truthful". Sometimes it may be difficult, but it asserts that honesty is not only the best policy; it is, for Nic, the only policy. Nic will give it his best!

Having known Nic for 13 years, I can honestly say the community's needs and concerns are more important to him than partisan politics. In Maryland's current political landscape, we need representation from people like Nic who are willing to sacrifice to do the right thing for their constituents. A vote for Nic is a vote for the betterment of this community.
