Continuing a Legacy of Leadership & Community Commitment
With a rich heritage of public service, I am David White, a city council candidate. My name is synonymous with leadership and commitment to the community. My great-grandfather, Ben White, was a distinguished member of the Austin City Council, with Ben White Boulevard standing as a testament to his contributions. My father, Ben White, Jr., further established the family's political roots by serving as the mayor of College Station and Garden Ridge, TX, leaving a legacy of dedication and service.
Family Life
Family is at the heart of my life. My partner of 15 years Darlene Lively, and I am a proud father to Kyle Olsen White and Kalynn Nicole Smith, as well as a doting grandfather to James and Kelly Ann Smith. I am blessed that my sister, brother-in-law and nephew all live in College Station. Beyond my family, my professional life is equally impactful.
Empowering Students
As the President and CEO of the largest youth organization in Texas, Texas 4-H Foundation, I lead the organization in supporting 500,000 4-H youth across Texas, emphasizing civic responsibility, the development of future leaders, and providing $2.5 million worth of scholarships to foster their education and growth.
Advancing Our City's Future
At David White for College Station, City Council Place 3, I am not just running for the College Station City Council; I am committed to shaping the future of the city. My campaign focuses on fostering growth, enhancing neighborhood development, and ensuring robust infrastructure to meet the city's evolving needs. With extensive experience working with boards, committees, and volunteers, I am poised to represent the citizens' needs effectively.
I Hear You
I believe in making fiscal decisions that guide our city's development, listening to the community's voice, and advocating for planned, sustainable growth. Quality of life, safety, and the development of both new and older neighborhoods are at the forefront of my agenda. Given my son's profession as a paramedic, I must ensure adequate funding for the first responders, such as police, firefighters, and EMT personnel, to match the growth of College Station. Moreover, attracting visitors and sporting events through initiatives that leverage the Hotel Occupancy Tax is central to my strategy for economic vitality, both in the near future and as a long-term goal.
Donate To My Campaign
My campaign is a call to action for all citizens of College Station to participate in a collective effort toward a brighter future. With a vision that includes everyone, I aim to create an environment where safety, quality of life, and community growth are prioritized for every resident.
