Taking to Instagram , Baker revealed that she was dealing with a lice outbreak at home, saying her new political responsibilities had not changed the everyday struggles of being a mother. Natasha Baker, who recently won the Indiana Senate District 22 race, shared a glimpse of an unexpected motherhood challenge she faced days after her electoral victory.
Baker defeated longtime Republican incumbent Ron Alting in the November 3 midterm elections. With 91% of the votes reported, Baker secured 59% of the vote, while Alting received 41%, according to local media outlet WLFI . “No special treatment, no glamorous lifestyle. Just a regular Hoosier mom with a new job title and a very unfortunate Sunday afternoon,” she added. “God speed. Moms who tackle lice can for sure handle Congress,” wrote another user.
Baker further said that being elected to the Indiana Senate did not make her any different from the people she represents. “I still have kids to raise, laundry to fold, bills to pay, and apparently… lice to eradicate,” she wrote. Concluding her post, the senator-elect said she was not expecting any special treatment or glamorous lifestyle following her electoral victory. “The working parent in me recognizes the working parent in you,” said one user.
