JOPLIN, Mo. —
I am a nurse practitioner who works for Dr. Ellen Nichols. I have gotten to know William “Bill” White through working for his wife, Dr. Nichols.
They have been Joplin residents for more than 15 years, and have raised four children here. He served in the Marine Corps and as a juvenile attorney for Jasper County. He has been an active volunteer in our community. He has volunteered for the Boy Scouts, Joplin Swim Team and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He currently volunteers as a political science teacher at McAuley Catholic High School. Bill White has conservative, Christian values. He believes in less government and lower taxes. I strongly encourage residents of the 129th District to please vote for Bill White to be our next state representative.
