Taylor White was raised on the family ranch in Riverbank, a small town just Northeast of Modesto.  He comes from a family that has lived in the Central Valley for nearly one-hundred years.  A family of farmers, ranchers, businessmen, teachers, professionals and community leaders, Taylor no doubt learned the values of hard work, dedication, and service early on.  Taylor attended Modesto City Schools and graduated from Beyer High School before moving on to Modesto Junior College.  Taylor excelled during his time at Beyer, both in academics and in athletics.  Most notably, Taylor distinguished himself as a leader. 

Throughout high school, Taylor White served his peers as Class President and Student Body President.  He continued his commitment to public service outside of the campus and into the community as a member of a number of civic groups and organizations, including Rotary and Kiwanis.  These remarkable accomplishments have since been reaffirmed by his record at MJC.

Taylor White served the Associated Students of Modesto Junior College both as the Director of Political Development and as President before even finishing his first semester.  He has since been elected by the students to serve another term as President. 

As President of the Associated Students of Modesto Junior College, both east and west campuses, Taylor is charged with the oversight of a one-million dollar budget; representing and advocating on the behalf of 19,000 students at the college, district, and state levels; and serving on numerous college-wide committees. 

Taylor White chose to run for the California State Assembly because, in his words, he wanted “…to give people a choice.  A choice between the same, ineffective, do-nothing Politics and Politics that will address the needs of our community.”  Taylor has been welcomed with open arms by a community that is ready for results.

Taylor White has distinguished himself on the campaign trail through his rugged determination, firm grasp of the issues, and his common-sense solutions.  Once elected to the State Assembly, Taylor will be an asset not only to the Central Valley and the Sierra Foothills but to the state as well.
