Mark Baker's False Endorsement During Campaign

Hello District 68,

Yesterday, I was informed that my opponent, Mark Baker, allegedly sent text messages to many of you stating that he had the support of three former candidates, including Courtney Heard and Jonathan Bonner.

The Heard and Bonner campaigns confirmed that this was not only false, but that their images had been used without their consent.

Last week, I sent approximately 7000 mailers, seen here, which were comparison cards of Mark and me, in which I asked you a very important question: Can you trust Mark Baker?

Mark’s text message demonstrates why it was so important for me to inform you of Mark’s questionable judgment and leadership: being investigated for fraud by South Fulton, allegedly threatening a citizen, and doing whatever it takes to get a title.

Mark also falsely stated in his text message that I have lived here for two years. We moved to Georgia in 2023. I have always been transparent about my life and work, as you can see in the detailed timeline in the About section of my website. My journey into politics began 16 years ago with me overcoming the mental and physical effects of a near-fatal birth trauma, and has always been rooted in the belief that policy should be shaped by our lived experiences, holding policymakers accountable, and always telling the truth.

That transparency, in particular about inadequate healthcare in the United States, led me to co-write a statewide healthcare bill in Massachusetts that was signed into law.

But to give you a little more background, I am not from Massachusetts. I was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Every family member of mine on my maternal side was born on a sharecropping farm in North Carolina. I have a deep understanding of the agricultural south and the complicated layers of race, class and politics. I come from a long line of fighters. As your next State Representative, I am ready day one and will fight for you.

This is not MY campaign, this is OUR Campaign. Early voting has started this week. Now, let’s get out to vote, claim our victory and get to work. YOU are ready for a stronger, healthier Georgia and I am going to do everything I can to make sure you get it because the time is now. And you deserve it.


Gratefully yours,
Timoria McQueen Saba
