Re-elect Ellen Baker for Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District

I am running for re-election to the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District, Seat 4. I’ve been endorsed by NorthPAC II, The Hispanic Vote of PBC, the Palm Beach-Treasure Coast AFL-CIO, the PBC Human Rights Council, the PBC Classroom Teachers Association, Everytown, Senator Lori Berman, Representative Katherine Waldron, Representative Kelly Skidmore, Representative Joe Casello, Tax Collector Anne Gannon, and I’m a Gun Sense Candidate!

I was appointed to the Board of the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District (NPBCID) for Seat 4 and sworn in on August 26, 2020. I was unopposed in the November 2020 election and was sworn in on November 18, 2020 for my first full four-year term. I am proud to be the only woman and Certified District Official (CDO) on the NPBCID Board. I have attended the Florida Association of Special Districts (FASD) Annual Conference since being elected and was appointed to the FASD Legislative Committee in June. I am a member of the following Northern Committees: Legal Committee, Personnel Committee, Debt Finance Committee, Engineering Review Committee (Chair), Public Relations Committee (Chair), and Appointment Committee (alternate). 

I am a Connecticut native who has traveled to three other continents. I like to talk, walk, bike, ski, read, dine out, watch sports, live music, theater, travel, and spend time with my family. I have a BS degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Connecticut, Storrs and have taken graduate ESOL courses at Nova Southeastern University. I am a special education teacher in my 24th year in the Palm Beach County School District. 

I’m active and hold leadership positions in various local and state, civic, charitable, and political organizations. I am a past vice president and currently serve as the Area 2 Director on the Board of the PBC Classroom Teachers Association (CTA), am a member of the Leadership Palm Beach County Engage Class of 2025, was a Peace Corps volunteer, and a Capitol Hill congressional intern. 

A longtime resident of Palm Beach County with more than three decades in Palm Beach Gardens, I am a devoted single mother of three and grandmother of seven, who takes pride in being a part of the NPBCID, serving the community that I call home. 

It has been an honor to serve and I hope to earn your vote on November 5th.
