BATON ROUGEAN LISA WOODRUFF WHITE RUNS FOR FAMILY COURT JUDGE!

TRACY WHITE: SHE’S COMMITTED TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY!

The Insite got a call from good friend Tracy White over the weekend. He told me his sister-in-law Lisa Woodruff White was hitting the campaign trail for Family Court Judge in Baton Rouge. White is a Baton Rouge attorney. Tracy says she is dedicated to making a difference in the community. The Insite is also a friend of Mrs. White’s husband Marty who’s also a Baton Rouge attorney and Tracy’s brother. That’s six degrees of separation from The Insite. So here’s more about the lady who’s hoping to sit on the bench and make a difference in Louisiana. There’s also a fundraiser in the near future I will provide you more details. Mrs. White’s resume is so long I will provide you a link below:
