Life

Political career
In the 2011 general election, Baxter ran for the first time to national elections. However, she did not apply for the direct mandate of a constituency, but was set on the regional electoral list for the electoral region of Mid Scotland and Fife . As a result of the election result, the Labor Party received only three list seats in this region, which went to John Park , Richard Simpson and Claire Brennan-Baker . However, in December 2012, John Park resigned to focus on his union activities. For this reason, Baker moved up as the next-placed list candidate and was sworn in on December 11th in the Scottish Parliament .
