Doug White of Manchester, Ohio, is an American politician of the Republican party who served as president of the Ohio Senate for two years, from 2003 to 2005.
After the 2002 elections, the Republicans of the Ohio Senate selected White to succeed Dick Finan as leader of the party. By 2004, however, White had already served two terms in the Senate and Ohio's term limits law prevented him from running again.
Thus, in the 2004 election, the Republican party selected Tom Niehaus to run for White's seat and Bill Harris was chosen to be the next Senate president.
After his service in the Senate, White sereved as Director of the Ohio Department of Commerce in the Cabinet of Republican Bob Taft.
His unofficial rival, Doug White of Westchester, New York, has also run for State Senate under the Green Party. He has lost every time and now is redoing high-school for the new MTV show Made.
