"I have worked along side Nikylan on the Maplewood Richmond Heights school board for the past several years and have gotten to see first hand how she leads with heart and head to ensure the very best for all our students.

"I first met Nikylan a year ago very early into the COVID pandemic when she jumped in to volunteer with MapleGOOD.
Her experience working with social security benefits greatly helped an elder in our community and soon after she joined the MapleGOOD Advisory Committee. For the past year she always jumps in to help deliver groceries to homebound neighbors and provided essential support and guidance for MapleGOOD.
Nikylan is not only compassionate, but she takes action and has the right experience."

In this extraordinary moment in our history; the soul of Maplewood stands hesitantly at a complicated crossroads.
We face uncharted territory as our economy teeters, our health and wellness takes center stage, and the divisions caused by our region’s racial and economic inequities deepen and widen. To get past this moment, we will need to push through it with intentional, empathetic, and innovative leadership.
Nikylan has proven time and time again that she leads with conviction, listens to understand, and brings her whole heart to the table when facing a challenge. Nikylan has the experience that matters in this difficult and complicated moment. I trust her implicitly to thoughtfully guide the soul of this beautiful community through these turbulent times. Join me in voting for Nikylan on April 6th."

"I have had the great honor and pleasure of getting to know and work with Nikylan over the past 4 years. She has been not only been an integral part of our community but also a formidable leader.
I first met Nikylan when she joined the ECC PTO and became a Co-Chair. She quickly identified areas where she could make a difference (bringing more books to our kiddos) and proactively took charge. Nikylan worked with the PTO leadership, ECC stakeholders, United Way, and the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, to establish a partnership providing free books for our MRH students under 5 years old.
I have seen her take on many other challenges (through the Cub Scouts and the Board of Education) with the same dedication, insight, and tenacity. Throughout this time Nikylan and I have become close friends. She challenges me and inspires me. I look forward to what she will bring to the City of Maplewood as our next Mayor."
"I support Nikylan Knapper for mayor because we need a leader who will guide Maplewood by prioritizing the values our community actively strives to achieve, including racial justice, transparency, and inclusion as well as foster a culture of progressive, responsible municipal planning and development for our beloved city."
