Political career

In 2016, District 60 incumbent Dan Fisher chose not to seek re-election. Baker ran for the seat, won a plurality of votes in a three-way Republican primary, went on to win the primary runoff, and defeated Democrat Dennis Purifoy in the general election. Baker ran for re-election in 2018; she defeated primary challenger Jacqueline Smith, and was unopposed in the general election. In 2020, she was re-elected by default.[5] In 2023, Baker, along with Adam Pugh was in attendance during the signing ceremony of Governor Kevin Stitt's anti-diversity, equity and inclusion executive order.[6] She did not run for reelection in 2024.[7]
