State Sen. Tom White of Omaha.



White to announce for Congress

By Robynn Tysver
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

Democratic state Sen. Tom White will officially announce his campaign for Congress on Wednesday . White's announcement comes nearly two months after he said he was interested in running against Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Terry.

“No matter which party controls Congress, Nebraskans I've talked to feel the needs of ordinary Americans aren't being met," White said.

White has made it clear that he will try to run as a moderate Democrat, who is interested in job creation and "restoring fiscal responsibility" in Washington.

An Omaha attorney, White was elected to the Legislature in 2006. He comes to the race with a lot of support from Democrats, who believe he has the credentials to give the veteran Terry a run for his seat.

White will make the announcement at 10 a.m. on Wednesday at the Omaha Press Club.
