Welcome! A theme of my almost 40 years of service on the City Council has been to help preserve and enhance our community and to help solve problems for constituents.

I invite you to call me at home at 617-566-3848, e-mail me at CouncilorBaker@comcast.net, or write to me at Newton City Hall, 1000 Commonwealth Ave., Newton, MA 02459.

In the meantime, I also invite you to learn more about the City Council and how I might be helpful to you, as I have other citizens for three decades as the Ward Councilor for Ward Seven. (Ward Seven is roughly the area of Newton east of Centre Street south of Church Street, east of Grant Avenue, and east of Glen Avenue).

Watch my candidate video here:

I also want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to continue to serve you and other citizens again as a Councilor next term.

To that end, this web site is organized to inform you more about:

• The City Council and Newton government
• My work on the Council, including work on such issues as finance, education, public safety, and preservation of land and historic resources
• Constituent service as part of my Council work
• The experience and background I bring to helping you and others as a Councilor
• My speeches and writings relating to my Council work
• How you can help my campaign

Again, please visit, call or e-mail me if you have any questions or suggestions, or would like to discuss a problem where I might be of help to you. Thank you.
