Baxter Ward

Baxter Ward (November 5, 1919—February 4, 2002) was a television news anchor who served two terms on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Prior to his election on the board, he ran third in an unsuccessful bid to unseat Sam Yorty for Mayor of Los Angeles in 1969. He was born Baxter Ward Schwellenbach in Superior, Wisconsin, and grew up in Ephrata, Washington. He was the nephew of Lewis Baxter Schwellenbach. During the 1950's he was on a short-lived non-fiction television show called Adventure Tomorrow with Dr. Martin L. Klein, which presented technology, primarily aerospace.

Ward was a television news anchor before his election to the Board of Supervisors, first at KCOP-Channel 13 and then with KABC-Channel 7 in Los Angeles.
