Rep. Dave Baker has been named a Legislator of Distinction by the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC). The recognition comes as Baker, who serves in a politically divided House, has focused on protecting workforce and economic development programs important to rural communities.
Baker was also involved in discussions around employer mandates, particularly the Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program. He emphasized the importance of balancing support for families with concerns from small businesses, local governments, and nonprofits.
“I’m honored to have received this recognition from CGMC,” said Rep. Baker. “Our Greater Minnesota communities are full of potential, and I’ll keep working to ensure they are set up for success. That includes continuing the conversation on programs like PFML, which need to work for both employees and employers. If we want lasting solutions, we need to find a better balance that supports families without overburdening small businesses, local governments, and nonprofits.”
