Campaign themes
2016
White's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Public safety
- Excerpt: "Michael supports positive crime prevention activities as a way to address crime. Believing that young people can benefit from structured and supervised activities, Michael will continue his support of creating a community recreation center in West Willow. Such a center can be the hub for fun and safe family events. It can be the place to bring resources for families and it can provide an easily accessible place for career training and employment recruitment."
Economic development
- Excerpt: "Michael believes that regional public transportation is not only a possibility, it is an economic necessity. He will work to make this a reality."
Education
- Excerpt: "Michael will fight to return millions of dollars stripped away from our traditional public education. While fully supportive of our preK-16 programs, he will push to restore funding and respect for other educational programs, like skilled trades apprenticeship programs."
