We look forward to the opportunity to improve communication with Democrats across the state and highlight the exceptional efforts of Democrats at the local level and at the Capitol.”

As Communications Director, Baker will not only work directly with the media and focus on communications efforts with local Democratic leaders but will also monitor and report on legislative activity at the Capitol.

The mission of the Oklahoma Democratic Party is to represent working people in Oklahoma and the best way to accomplish that is to elect Democrats to all areas of government.
