Ohio House of Representatives

He obtained the Republican nomination with 52.36% of the vote, and won the general election with 60.9% of the electorate.[1] He won reelection in 2002 with 61.44% of the vote, again in 2004 with 60.64%, and again in 2006 with 55.64%.

Term limits required White to relinquish his seat in 2008, and he was replaced by Terry Blair. Since his time as a legislator, White has become an advocate for local charities and philanthropy.
