He was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1990 provincial election, defeating incumbent Liberal Allan Furlong and Conservative Jim Flaherty by over 2,000 votes in the Greater Toronto Area riding of Durham Centre.

The NDP won a majority in this election and White served as the parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Municipal Affairs responsible for the Office of the Greater Toronto Area on two occasions between 1992 and 1995.
