RICHMOND TOWN SUPERVISOR

Republican Primary Election: June 24, 2025
I'm Mike Baker, and I’m running for Town Supervisor because I believe in Richmond’s potential. My wife Debby and I have proudly lived on Reed Road since 1992. This town’s strong community spirit and natural beauty have made it the perfect place to raise our family and now, I want to help lead Richmond into its next chapter.
I bring over 35 years of problem-solving experience from my work at West Virginia and Cornell Universities collaborating with farmers, Extension Agents, and communities using facts, listening, and teamwork. Here in Richmond, I serve on the Planning Board, Earth Care Committee, and Climate Smart Community Task Force, and I’m an active member and moderator of the Honeoye United Church of Christ.
Transparency & Engagement:
Share Town Board agendas and minutes online, involve residents in budgeting, and promote an updated Comprehensive Plan.
Support Our Volunteers:
Empower and celebrate Richmond’s passionate volunteers and committees.
Enhance Communication:
Use social media to keep residents informed and engaged.
Protect Natural Resources:
Partner with local groups to improve lake health, support farmers through an Agriculture Advisory Committee, and use science-based practices to preserve our environment.
Foster Smart Growth:
Establish a Business Advisory Committee to support local businesses, encourage new dining and recreational options (including upgrades to Sandy Bottom Park, a potential spray park, and pickleball courts), cut unnecessary red tape, explore affordable housing solutions, and actively seek grants to support community development.
Celebrate Richmond Year-Round:
From snowmobiling to leaf peeping, I’ll work to enhance the activities and traditions that make Richmond special in every season.
Let’s Move Forward—Together
I’m committed to honest leadership that reflects Richmond’s values and voices. Together, we can shape a stronger, more connected community.
