Biography

Mayor Lipp was the mayor of District 12 and conducted the district's reaping for the 10th Hunger Games. After reaping Lucy Gray Baird at his daughter Mayfair Lipp's request, he watched in shock as the girl slipped a snake down Mayfair's dress. He ran down the steps to his daughter, helping Mayfair to her feet and handing her to a Peacekeeper to lead away. Back at the stage, he struck Lucy Gray in the face and was taken away by the Peacekeepers himself to calm down before being brought back to pull out the name of the district's male tribute, Jessup Diggs.

Mayor Lipp was present during Arlo Chance's hanging, along with his wife and daughter. They arrived at the hanging tree in an old car that would have been considered a luxury before the Dark Days, and formed a tight knot at the side of the platform.

After Mayfair was killed, Mayor Lipp went to the Peacekeeper base and pitched a fit to Commander Hoff about his daughter's murder, but he was not taken seriously. The mayor was also sure that Lucy Gray had killed both his daughter and Billy Taupe, whose body had been found beside hers. He drove his car down to the Covey's house in the Seam, waiting outside for hours, and was determined to get Lucy Gray arrested. When she disappeared into the woods outside District 12, many people suspected that the mayor himself had killed her, though they couldn't prove it.

Family

"... since he’d spoiled Mayfair rotten and let her run loose like a wildcat, the feeling was he had no one to blame but himself if she had been keeping time with a rebel."

—The Peacekeeper response to Mayfair's death

Mayor Lipp had a permissive attitude towards Mayfair. After her murder, the opinion among Peacekeepers seemed to be that he had spoiled his daughter, so it was his fault as a parent that she had gotten in with a dangerous crowd. Nothing is known of his relationship with his wife, save that he had one.
