Cheryle Baker would fight for affordable rent and accessible health care if she becomes the next MP for Oxford.

OXFORD COUNTY - A familiar face is the Green Party candidate for Oxford County in the upcoming federal election.

Cheryle Baker is in the running to become our next MP after running in the 2023 byelection. She was also the Green Party candidate for Oxford during the provincial election in 2022.

Baker is a tool and dye maker by trade, but she does a lot of consulting work with companies around the world.

"I help companies and people develop new ideas, new products, new processes, and new systems. I'm still doing some of that today, I do a lot of consulting work and contracting with other companies."

She says she helps make these companies more profitable.

"I do a lot of problem solving and troubleshooting for companies. This is anything from helping them fix blueprints, to retooling new ideas for production lines, to designing new products."

Although she's been to so many places around the world, she says Oxford County will always hold a special place in her heart.

"I have lots of family in Oxford County. They have farms in agriculture with cows, pigs and vegetable farms. I also sometimes do contract work for the automotive plants there and for their suppliers and other branches."

Baker loves to attend social justice events like Reuseapaloozaha and she volunteers with the STICH Supper Club in Ingersoll. She's also a regular at the Woodstock Farmers Market each week.

She has done a lot of campaigning out in the community, so she knows what issues she should tackle first if she becomes our next Member of Parliament.

"When I have been talking to people in the community, the one thing people really care about is each other. People care about people and they have a lot of great ideas that they would like to see happen in their community, one of them is to help with more affordable rent and more accessible health care."

The federal election is scheduled for April 28th.
