==Franklin Pariish Police Jury==
==Franklin Parish Police Jury==
At the age of thirty-three, Baker was elected in 1968 as a [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] to the Franklin Parish Police Jury (equivalent of county commission]in other states). He won his primary by only nineteen votes. In February 1969, he switched to the Republican Party and set forth to build a competitive two-party system in his region and state, a goal for which there was no political infrastructure. While he was on the police jury, the body joined the 11-parish North Delta Economic Planning and Development Council. Baker served on this council during his single term on the jury.
