Support State Representative Kip Diggs

Representative Kip Diggs is a small business owner, former professional boxer, and third-generation Cape Cod resident who currently represents the towns of Barnstable and Yarmouth in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. A proud father, he wants to make sure our community remains a great place for the next generation to live and raise a family.

 

Kip grew up admiring his family’s commitment to public service. His grandfather was a military veteran who founded Joe’s Twin Villa after leaving the military. Two of his great-uncles were members of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, flying fighter planes during World War II. His father served three tours of duty in the Vietnam War, while his uncle was a firefighter. 

 

As a young man, Kip started boxing, first as a hobby and then as a profession. Boxing taught Kip the importance of hard work. He trained for months, without a single day off, to win on fight night. In 1996, he became the IBO and NABF World Welterweight Champion. While boxing, Kip started a construction transportation company. Running a small business for 12 years taught Kip how to balance a budget, make payroll, and navigate government red tape. 

​

Kip has always worked hard, whether he was in the gym training for a fight or at a construction site building his company. Kip will work every single day to make sure our voice is heard.
