Kippenbrock announces candidacy for state representative

Dubois County Clerk Amy Kippenbrock announced her candidacy for State Representative in Indiana House District 63, which includes all of Martin County and portions of Dubois, Daviess, and Pike Counties.

Following the announcement that State Representative Shane Lindauer will not seek reelection, Kippenbrock is launching her campaign to continue the district’s tradition of strong, conservative leadership that reflects the values of southwest Indiana.

The campaign launched with a digital announcement video that introduces Kippenbrock’s story of faith, family, and service, and shares her vision for representing southern Indiana at the Statehouse.

“Faith, family, and service have shaped every decision I’ve made,” Kippenbrock said. “Our families and small businesses deserve a voice at the Statehouse who understands their challenges and fights for their future.”

A lifelong Hoosier, Kippenbrock was born in Martin County and raised in Jasper, where she and her husband, Kevin—a second-generation small business owner—raised their three sons and now enjoy two granddaughters.

Kippenbrock was first elected Dubois County Clerk in 2018 and reelected in 2022. During her tenure, she led the county’s transition to vote centers, implemented digital recordkeeping systems, and strengthened election security. She was recognized as Indiana’s “Clerk of the Year” in both 2020 and 2024.

In 2025, she was elected Dubois County Republican Party Chair, where she has worked to recruit strong local candidates and collaborate with community leaders on issues that matter most to southwest Indiana families.

“I’ve dedicated my career to serving the people of Dubois County with honesty, hard work, and common sense,” Kippenbrock said. “As state representative, I’ll bring that same hands-on, practical approach to Indianapolis—listening to my constituents, protecting our values, and getting things done for southwest Indiana families.”

Kippenbrock’s priorities include strengthening local schools, supporting small businesses, protecting conservative Hoosier values, and ensuring fiscal responsibility in state government.

The campaign will hold a kickoff fundraiser on Wednesday, November 19, at the Parklands in Jasper.
