Today's featured article

Beverly White (1928–2021) was an American politician of the Democratic Party who served in the Utah House of Representatives from 1971 to 1991. Born in Salt Lake City, she was raised in Tooele after the death of her mother and graduated from Tooele High School. White held multiple positions in the Democratic Party at the local, state and national levels, and attended many state and national conventions. In 1971, she was appointed by Governor Cal Rampton to the state house, where she served as assistant whip and was at times the only female committee chair. She was the longest-serving consecutive female member of the Utah Legislature at the time of her death. A delegate to every Democratic National Convention from 1964 to 2004 (with the exception of 1976, when she was an alternate), White served as the secretary of the Utah Democratic Party from 1971 to 1987. White also served on a hospital board, wrote a book about female legislators, and aided in the creation of a satellite campus for Utah State University. (Full article...)
