Did not always agree, but you always knew kip loved BR. Always approachable and easy to talk to.
The best leaders at the local level are the ones that prioritize their community over their political party. The ones you can leave a 20 minute conversation with and have no clue which political party they represent.
Kip was one of those.
I had the honor of working 1:1 with him for about 6 years. He’s the reason I’m still in Baton Rouge.
Hopefully St. Peter had a glass bottle of Bud Heavy waiting on him this morning.

I had heard he was sick, but genuinely so sad to hear the news this morning. I can’t figure out why more politicians haven’t copied his playbook. It just worked…and that’s a big accomplishment for an afflicted Southern city.
To go on a tangent, was anyone else surprised to hear he was only 72? I would’ve thought him further along than that.
