In the state elections in Baden-Württemberg in 2016 , he was elected to the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg as a second mandate with 17.1 percent of the votes in the Hohenlohe constituency (constituency 21) . There he is the parliamentary manager of the AfD parliamentary group . During the split in the AfD parliamentary group in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament, Baron was a member of the Alternative for Baden-Württemberg led by Jörg Meuthen . Baron is a member of the Board of Trustees of the State Center for Political Education .

Baron describes the political position of his party as “conservative in the classical sense, liberal, patriotic and proud to be German, proud of what past generations have achieved and built”. His disagreement with government policy in overcoming the “Greek crisis” and the plans for the energy transition convinced him to join the AfD.

Employee

Baron came under fire in 2016 because of the past of his colleague Dietmar-Dominik Hennig. According to Stern and Südwestrundfunk, Hennig was a member of the “Cannstatter Kreis”, which was observed by the Baden-Württemberg Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a right-wing extremist organization. As early as 1994, after an appearance by the Austrian right-wing populist Jörg Haider at the local FDP, a “Cannstatter Kreis” formed in Stuttgart . The Office for the Protection of the Constitution later classified the district as a “platform” “in order to unite in the right-wing extremist camp across all borders.” "Hennig is also said to have been the regional spokesman for the right-wing extremist“ Germany Movement ”.

Baron rejected the allegations made against his colleague. At no time did his employee belong to an association that had been the object of observation by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution during his membership. Hennig confirmed this in a detailed statement. He does not regret his commitment to the "Germany Movement" at the time, and neither does his former membership in the Cannstatter Kreis. He had resigned in 1998, belonged to the FDP until 2007 and was active in 2013 in the election campaign team of the then FDP MP Frank Schäffler .
