I am Bob Baldwin, Christian, husband of my beautiful wife of 54 years, father of 4 great kids and a resident of the 1st Congressional District for 24 years.

Beginning in 1972 with the re-election of President Nixon and Senator Bob Griffin I started my political experience by running their field campaign in 6 southeast Michigan counties, not including Wayne.  Since then I have worked on behalf of Parental Freedom of Choice in Education and Christian Schools, both in Washington, DC and Michigan and other conservation causes.  In 1980 I was an alternate to the Republican National Convention from Virginia and a member of then-candidate Ronald Reagan's Family Policy Advisory Board.  I took a bit of a break from Politics in the early 2000s to make some money, but in 2020 I was elected to the Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners where I continue to serve.  After living here for 20 years, it was time to give back.  My interest and goal for the 1st District is to continue to support traditional Christian Values, adherence to the United States Constitution, and Republican fiscal responsibility. I hope my experience can help the 1st Congressional District toward those ends.

I am strong advocate for the 2nd Amendment, an avid bow hunter, a very poor amateur photographer and a practicing Christian, who is still just practicing.

I first got interested in politics during the Reagan era - before that I did not know the difference between a liberal or a conservative - it took me listening to Rush Limbaugh to learn to recognise the difference just from having a conversation with a person.
