Claire Baker MSP
I was elected in May 2007 for the region of Mid Scotland & Fife. I'm Fife born and bred, having grown up in Kelty and gone to primary and High school in Fife. I’m very honoured to be able to serve the communities and area that I grew up in and live in.
A crucial part of my role as a Member of the Scottish Parliament is being able to stand up for the most vulnerable in society, both in Mid Scotland & Fife and in Scotland as a whole, and to champion their needs and wishes as far as I can.
I’m always very keen for you to get in contact with me if you have any concerns or issues you think I could help with. Feel free to pick up the phone or email me using the 'enquiries' page.
