Additional comment from candidate:
I am running for Congress because many of the things I have worked on in my life I see eroding. I want to see the good work done for the next generations be protected especially in the area of education, health care, science and innovation. As the Republican candidate of the 11th Congressional District I have the experience necessary to win the general election and take back this district. March 15th, vote HERMAN B WHITE, the people deserve great representation in Congress.
