White Visits East Texas

TYLER — Democratic gubernatorial candidate BIll White spends a couple of days touring East Texas. Though the area’s a Republican stronghold, White tells KTBB he’s confident of his chances here. He says, “I’m a traditional Texas Democrat, a fiscal conservative.” White also mentioned the success he enjoyed as mayor of Houston. He pointed out that in two re-election contests, he won over 80 per cent of the most conservative Republican precincts in that city. White added that a lot of fiscal conservatives like the idea of having someone in public office who’s met a payroll and been a successful business person.
