Rachel is a mom of three children, a pediatric nurse, a social worker, a court-appointed child advocate, a nurse researcher, and now a State Representative. Over the years, Rep. Baker has developed a love of our community that led her to serve in the Ohio Statehouse!  

Rachel is tired of extremist policies, corruption, and divisive rhetoric. She works daily to be a voice of reason, integrity, compassion, and true public service.  

Since being elected, Rep. Baker has worked with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to accomplish many of the goals she campaigned on. In her first term, Rachel helped pass three bills focused on creating better, more accessible futures for Ohio’s children: HB452, HB141, and HB448. She is also proud to have remained involved in our community, hosting community conversations on important issues, attending community council meetings, and delivering cookies to teachers in every public school in the district.  

Since first being endorsed by The Matriots in 2022, Rachel’s continuous initiative and drive to lessen the structural barriers that women face in the workplace and children face in society via advocacy and legislation make her a candidate The Matriots are proud to support in the 2026 General Election!
