- Thomas White, Jr. (August 21, 1939 – August 27, 2010) was a member of the New York City Council from Queens. A Democrat, he represented the 28th Council district, which includes the neighborhoods of Jamaica, South Jamaica, and Richmond Hill. He co-founded and was the Executive Director of J-CAP, an alcohol and substance abuse residential treatment program in New York State. White won the Democratic primary vote in November 2009 to seek a new term, following the overturning of term limits at the insistence of New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a vote by the New York City Council, by a six votes. This small margin of victory has been attributed by some political observers to public anger over the overturning by the City Council of two referendums supporting eight-year term limits. Five other council incumbents, four of whom had voted to overturn term limits, lost their bids for re-election, the largest such number since the 1980s. (en)
