2 min readMar 29, 2022

Mr. Royce Alexander White was born, nurtured and educated in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Mr. White is a professional athlete in two sports: Basketball and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He is the proud father of four children and a published author of four books. His first entitled Long Past Overdue: Mental Health & The NBA published in 2018 addresses his battle with an anxiety disorder.

Mr. Royce White is now a Republican candidate in Minnesota’s Congressional District 5 race(MN-CD5). It will be a marathon to the finish line. He faces GOP opponents and will have to win the August 9th primary. Mr. White would challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. IIhan Omar on Tuesday November 8th. It is a daunting task, but he is focused and unflappable.

Mr. White is not a friend or foe. I don’t live in Minnesota, so I can’t vote for him or anyone else. But I appreciate his life, candidacy and some of his viewpoints. I’m doing my part by shining a light on who he is and what he stands for in his run for Congress. I read the three newsletters posted on the bottom of his website, https://roycewhite.us. The Family Court newsletter is a raw and heartfelt account that will impact the reader’s soul regardless of where you reside on the aisle or this planet.

Get ready, Minnesota! Good luck, Mr. Royce White.
