Lance White
Lance White is a former Canadian municipal and provincial level politician. He served on the Edmonton city council from 1983 until 1992. He then moved on to provincial politics and served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1993 until 2001.
Municipal politics
White began his political career as a municipal councillor for the city of Edmonton, Alberta. He won his first term on city council as a candidate running in Ward 4 of the 1983 Edmonton municipal election. The race for Ward 4 was hotly contested with both incumbents not re-offering and a field of fifteen candidates. On election day White would win the second place seat, finishing well behind Ed Leger.
Provincial politics
White had ambitions of running for a seat in the Alberta Legislature. While still a municipal councillor he ran as the Liberal candidate in Edmonton Calder for the 1989 Alberta general election. He was defeated by incumbent Christie Mjolsness of the New Democrats.[1] White easily won the electoral district of Edmonton Mayfield in his second attempt to gain a seat in the 1993 Alberta general election.[2] He was re-elected in the 1997 Alberta general election. The race was hotly contested, with all three candidates taking a third of the popular vote.[3] White would be defeated by Progressive Conservative Brent Rathgeber in the 2001 Alberta general election.[4]
