I’m Ken Baker, Police Chaplain for the Reedley Police Depart- ment and I’m running for Reedley’s city council district one. I have strong roots in Reedley that date back three generations. I also have over 23 years in pastoral ministry and serving communities in various capacities. One of my greatest accomplishments besides raising my kids is Opening up Reedley’s Faith House, “Home for Displaced Families”. The home is still successfully operating and assisting families in need within our community. I strongly believe that the time for change is now, and that a community our size needs to position itself for the future.I’m proud to say that I pub- licly support law-enforcement, along with small business and new business growth, adequate and affordable housing, and youth activities. There is no greater endorsement that I could have other than that of my wife and three kids.
BAKER FOR COUNCIL!
