I was raised in Franklin County. A graduate of Pacific High School. Attended ECC our local community college, achieving an associates degree in business management. Went on to Missouri State College in Joplin, receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Speech Communication. My lovely wife of 29 years Debbie and I have four grown daughters, and one grandson.

My background is in Manufacturing as I helped run our family’s business for 20 plus years. Now completing my fifth year as the Franklin County Clerk. I have over seen countless elections, keep them safe and secure.

This is my home, where I can see my past, present, and future. I want to serve as your Lieutenant Governor, where I can help determine the quality of government in the present, and affect the direction of the future. I have a passion for not only the county I live in but Missouri as a whole, and only want good government for its people.

Our government works best when elected officials answer to the people they represent. I have spent a lot of time listening to citizens of our state. I hear your discouragement about our government, at all levels.

I know we can make a difference together.

I still believe in the power of good government, and even more in the power of good people to do amazing things when given right conditions and opportunities I am running for Lieutenant Governor because I want to protect the good that has been built and bring about a positive change for the future. Our system isn’t perfect but have the power to make it better. We just need to get back to our Basics. Help me make that happen by getting back to the “Basics With Baker”.
