When asked what inspired him to run, White said he became “frustrated” with how the state government handled the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically business closures.
“Just over the past 18 months, with the way government has really overreached and I believe has done things that they shouldn’t have, I believe they put so many businesses out of business that will never return – and these are businesses that could have operated safely,” White said. “We were all concerned about the COVID virus, but we could have opened safely, like my business eventually did.”
