Jimmy Baker for Fairborn City Council, Fairborn, OH (2026)

09/23/2026

There’s a difference between being interested in Fairborn and being invested in Fairborn.

Fairborn isn’t just a place where I live. It’s a community I’ve built my life in, a community I care deeply about, and a community I’ve spent years getting to know from the ground up.

I’ve been here. I’ve been involved. I’ve been showing up.

I’ve attended City Council meetings and work sessions. I’ve talked with residents, business owners, city employees, department heads, and people throughout our community. I’ve asked questions, listened to concerns, and taken the time to learn how our city operates.

And I’m not going to stop.

I respect anyone who wants to get involved in Fairborn. Military service, professional experience, community involvement, and personal relationships can all bring something valuable to the table.

But when you ask the residents of Fairborn for their vote, you’re asking them to trust you with decisions that affect their city, their tax dollars, their families, and their future.

That responsibility requires more than simply sitting in a chair.

I’m not interested in being a flower pot on City Council.

I want to be engaged. I want to ask the hard questions. I want to look at the facts, the cost, the risks, the benefits, and the long-term consequences before decisions are made.

And when I make a decision, I’m willing to stand behind it.

I’m not going to reveal every idea I’m working on just so somebody else can copy it and repeat it later. The people of Fairborn will hear my ideas directly from me when the time is right.

But one thing I will make very clear:

I know Fairborn. I care about Fairborn. I’ve been involved in Fairborn. And I’m willing to work for Fairborn.

In 2027, I’m asking the residents of this city to take a serious look at what each candidate brings to the table—not just who they know, where they work, or who they’re connected to.

Look at the person.

Look at their experience.

Look at their involvement.

Look at their willingness to show up and do the work.

I’m Jimmy Baker, and I’m coming back in 2027 because I believe Fairborn deserves a strong, independent voice on City Council.

Fairborn First. Accountability. Integrity. The Voice of the People.

I’m not going anywhere.

Tonight, I attended the Fairborn City Council work session and the regular City Council meeting.

Before the meeting, the city held a wonderful proclamation and celebration recognizing Penny for more than 30 years of service to the City of Fairborn. She will officially retire at the end of this month, September 30.

I had prepared a few words to recognize Penny and her years of dedication to our community. Because of the order of the meeting, I had to wait until citizen comments at the end of the meeting to get up and share them.

I was honored to stand up and speak about Penny and the service she has given to Fairborn.

One thing I believe strongly is that government is about people. Regardless of politics, disagreements, or personalities, we should always take the time to recognize and appreciate the people who have dedicated decades of their lives to our community.

Penny, thank you for your years of service to Fairborn. Congratulations on your retirement, and I hope you know how much your dedication has meant to our community.

Fairborn First. 🇺🇸

FINAL CEASE AND DESIST NOTICE

TO THE ADMINISTRATORS, OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND PARTICIPANTS OF:

* Greene County Silly Goose
* Citizens for Fairborn’s Future
* Citizens for Fairborn’s Future Documenting Karen Combs
* Any associated accounts or individuals participating in the conduct described below

This is a formal demand to immediately cease and desist from targeted harassment, intimidation, personal attacks, repeated unwanted conduct, and the publication or circulation of knowingly false factual allegations concerning the undersigned.

The continued behavior being documented is no longer being treated as harmless Facebook drama, political disagreement, or ordinary criticism.

That excuse is over.

There is a clear distinction between legitimate criticism and repeatedly targeting an individual through posts, comments, videos, images, accusations, personal attacks, or coordinated activity intended to embarrass, intimidate, provoke, or damage that person’s reputation.

You are hereby placed on formal notice that continued conduct of that nature will be documented and preserved.

Screenshots, posts, comments, messages, videos, images, account information, dates, times, URLs, and other relevant material may be preserved as evidence. Deleting material after receiving this notice does not change the fact that the material may already have been preserved.

You are specifically directed to cease:

* Repeated personal attacks and targeted harassment;
* Knowingly false factual allegations;
* Threatening or intimidating communications;
* Attempts to provoke unwanted confrontations;
* Encouraging others to target or harass the undersigned;
* Impersonation or deceptive accounts;
* Publication or misuse of private personal information for harassment purposes; and
* Any other conduct directed toward the purpose of intimidating, abusing, or deliberately causing harm to the undersigned.

Let this be perfectly clear: disagreement is not the issue. Criticism is not the issue. Politics is not the issue.

The issue is conduct that crosses the line from protected expression into unlawful or actionable behavior.

You are free to disagree. You are free to criticize. You are free to express your opinions.

You are not being given permission to harass, threaten, intimidate, impersonate, or knowingly publish false factual allegations.

This notice is an opportunity to stop.

Take it.

From this point forward, continued conduct will be handled through appropriate channels rather than through Facebook arguments or public exchanges.

Nothing in this notice waives any rights, claims, remedies, or defenses available under federal, state, or local law. Nothing in this notice should be interpreted as a limitation on the right to seek legal advice, file appropriate complaints, report potentially unlawful conduct, or pursue available civil or criminal remedies where applicable.

This is the final warning.

Stop the targeted conduct.

Stop the harassment.

Stop the personal attacks.

The Facebook games are over.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Over the past several weeks, I have been the target of repeated personal attacks, false accusations, and misinformation.

I reject those claims completely. If anyone has legitimate evidence to support what they are saying, then they should present the facts publicly instead of hiding behind rumors, insults, and personal attacks.

I am not going to stoop to name-calling or attack people’s families and personal lives. I will stand on my record, my actions, and the facts.

To everyone who has supported me and taken the time to look at the facts before judging me—thank you.

I’m moving forward. I’m not backing down, and I will continue standing up for what I believe is right for Fairborn.

Citizens for Fairborn‘s future Editor, Karen Combs , There is a much bigger issue here than the accusations being made about Jimmy Baker.

Karen Combs is identified as the editor of Citizens for Fairborn’s Future. With that role comes a reasonable expectation that information presented to the public will be fair, balanced, and objective.

What is concerning is the repeated focus on one individual—Jimmy Baker—and the increasingly personal nature of the commentary directed toward him.

Disagreement is completely legitimate. Personal attacks presented as “accountability” are something else.

The post repeatedly calls Jimmy Baker a liar, questions his character, brings up unrelated personal matters, and portrays his actions in the worst possible light. If there is evidence that Baker violated a specific law, city rule, election requirement, or Facebook policy, then identify the rule and provide the evidence. Calling someone a liar does not establish that a violation occurred.

The address issue

The argument concerning Jimmy Baker’s address also leaves out an important distinction.

The fact that someone’s residential address may appear in public records does not mean that person cannot take steps to protect the public display of that information elsewhere.

Baker is a retired law-enforcement officer. Whether someone agrees with his decision to use a particular address on a social-media page is beside the point. If there is a legitimate concern about the address used on the page, it should be addressed with facts and documentation—not accusations that Baker is deliberately deceiving the public.

The probation issue

The reference to Jimmy Baker being “recently released from probation” is another example of something being presented in the most inflammatory manner possible.

The probation resulted from a municipal case involving a radio being played on Baker’s property. The matter went through the legal process, a judgment was entered, and Baker completed the probation imposed by the court.

Anyone is free to discuss that case. What is misleading is repeatedly presenting the completion of probation as though it establishes dishonesty, corruption, or some serious criminal history. It does not.

The recall

Jimmy Baker has been open about his involvement in the recall effort. He has talked to citizens, collected signatures, and worked to explain the recall process.

Whether someone supports or opposes the recall is a political question. Fairborn voters can make that decision for themselves.

Information was also provided to this page concerning an individual who has been involved in attacking Baker. That information was never meaningfully addressed, while the focus continued to remain on Jimmy Baker.

That raises a legitimate question:

Is Citizens for Fairborn’s Future providing neutral information to Fairborn citizens, or is it becoming a platform for repeatedly targeting one particular person?

Nobody has to agree with Jimmy Baker. Nobody has to support his recall effort or his political ambitions.

But if Karen Combs, as editor, is going to publicly accuse Baker of lying and dishonesty, the standard should be simple:

Show the evidence. Identify the rule. Present the facts. Let the citizens decide.

Fairborn citizens deserve the complete picture—not selective accusations, personal attacks, and one-sided commentary.

If the goal is truly accountability, then accountability should apply equally to everyone.

The issue isn’t whether Jimmy Baker should be above criticism.

He shouldn’t.

The issue is whether Citizens for Fairborn’s Future is applying the same standard to everyone.

Fairborn citizens are capable of recognizing the difference between legitimate criticism and what appears to be a sustained personal campaign against one individual.

08/11/2026

A little clarification for Karen Combs and Citizens for Fairborn’s Future:

Apparently, my page and the address listed on it have become a topic of discussion. The address listed is 335 W. 3rd St., Dayton, Ohio, which is the headquarters of the Dayton Police Department.

I am a retired Dayton Police officer, and I have a protected address. I have done absolutely nothing wrong, and I have every right to protect my personal information.

As for Karen Combs, the author of the Citizens for Fairborn’s Future page, my personal address is none of her business. This appears to be nothing more than another attempt to take a personal shot at me because I am running for Fairborn City Council.

If there is an actual issue with something I have done, then address the facts. Otherwise, stop creating controversy where none exists.

I have done nothing wrong, and I’m not going to be intimidated or distracted from my campaign.

What a Great Night at Bluegrass & Brew! 🎶🍻🇺🇸

Wow, what a great turnout tonight! Even though the rain held us down for a little while, Fairborn came together, and in the end, it turned into a great evening.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out, approached us, talked with us, and signed the recall petition. I truly appreciate every person who took the time to get involved and make their voice heard.

I also want to give a BIG shout-out to Chris, Kara, and everyone with Parks and Recreation. They do a phenomenal job putting events like Bluegrass & Brew together for our community.

One thing citizens don’t always get to see is what happens behind the scenes. At closing time, everyone went right to work shutting everything down and cleaning up. That hard work often goes unnoticed, but it doesn’t go unappreciated. Thank you to the entire Parks and Recreation team for everything you do for Fairborn!

I was also pleasantly surprised and grateful to see City Manager Mike Gephart and Mayor Dan Kirkpatrick at the event tonight. It’s always good to see our city leaders out in the community.

And to everyone who came out tonight — thank you! Rain or shine, when Fairborn comes together, great things can happen.

Thank you, Fairborn! 🇺🇸❤️
