Lyon County's White confirmed by Senate to TVA board

Former Lyon County Judge-Executive Wade White has been confirmed by the Senate and will take a seat on the TVA Board of Directors.

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell recommended White for the position to President Biden and issued a statement celebrating the confirmation.  

“I applaud the Senate approving Wade White’s nomination and finally adding a Kentuckian to the TVA Board of Directors. As proven by his successful tenure as Lyon County Judge-Executive, Wade will be a leader in helping 215,000 Kentucky households access the reliable power TVA promises to provide. Wade’s heart has always been in serving his home state and his unique perspective will bring balance to the organization and its priorities. I thank Wade for his hard work on behalf of Kentucky and look forward to his service to our state and country on the TVA Board.”

Lyon County swore in new judge-executive Jaime Green on December 5th to finish out White's term by 56th Circuit Court Judge Jamus Redd. 

White announced in 2021 that he wouldn't seek re-election after he was nominated to the TVA Board.
