Sipper has served the last three years and four months as the District Three Councilman. He recenlty vacated this seat due to the fact that he has established a permanent residence in District Four.

“It is my desire to serve the people of District Four as I have these last three years representing District Three,” Sipper said.

“I will make every effort to see each registered voter in District Four, at which time I will discuss my qualifications for holding this council seat.”
