County Councilmember Larry Phillips remembers “emerging star” Senator Scott White

Summary

Story

Metropolitan King County Councilmember Larry Phillips issued the following statement about Washington State Senator Scott White:

“The King County Council today held a moment of silence in remembrance of Senator Scott White, who made his mark in the halls of the King County Courthouse as a staffer, the 46th District as a Democratic leader, the State Senate as a hard-working and effective advocate for the people of Washington, and, most of all, in the hearts of those who knew him as a kind and dedicated individual.

“Scott was an extraordinary person, a wonderful husband and father, friend, and colleague. After knowing him as a tremendously talented, bright, passionate, and sincere staff member for a number of years, I enjoyed watching him become an emerging star as a state legislator. He made his mark in the legislature in very short order, and was accomplishing great advancements for transportation, the arts, and other critical issues for the people of Washington. He would have been a respected leader for many, many years to come, so his passing is a great loss for us all.”
