Nat Baker will stand firm in supporting and fully funding our law enforcement officers. With over 30 years in law enforcement and having served as mayor before, Nat knows better than anyone the importance of strong public safety. Mayor Nat Baker will ensure the Horn Lake Police and Fire Departments have the resources, modern equipment, and the competitive compensation packages needed to recruit and retain the best personnel to serve our community

As a businessman himself, Nat Baker understands the critical role small businesses play in creating jobs and will work to minimize unnecessary regulations and government interference to ensure Horn Lake is the most business-friendly city in Mississippi. Additionally, he will fight to protect our citizens from mandates that infringe upon civil liberties or harm small businesses.

During his previous terms as mayor, Baker successfully led the city through a period of historic growth, all while maintaining a balanced budget- he I will bring the same effective leadership back to the mayor’s office, ensuring that the growth of Horn Lake does not negatively impact the quality of life for current taxpayers.
