U.S. Senate Campaign
In the 2004 U.S. Senate election, Pipkin ran unsuccessfully against incumbent senator Barbara Mikulski.
He ran a series of ads during the campaign with his self-coined slogan "who knew" that attacked Mikulski's policies. This led Mikulski, who was already considered a favorite, to hold a debate with Pipkin.
