As he sought office himself, the junior Baden recalled that as a child he "listened, watched and learned how city government should be open, run and influenced by the voters. My majoring in business gives me an edge into the fiscal operations of a municipality. I have a professional background in public utilities. I also come from a family with deep ties to local fire and police departments."<ref name=sulphur/>​
