He narrowly defeated attorney Stacy Lake in the Democratic primary, winning 53-47 percent, and then faced County Legislator Theresa Cass Galvin, the Republican nominee, in the general election. TheKansas City Star endorsed Galvin over White, critiquing White's tenure as "one of inattention and failure."[2] White defeated Galvin by a wide margin, but reduced from previous elections, winning 55 percent of the vote to Galvin's 44 percent.
