Speaker: State Auditor Shad W hite
Shad White, Certif ied Fraud Examiner (CFE), grew up in Sandersville, Mississippi ‐ population 731 ‐ in a blue-collar family. His father and grandfather were oilfield pu mpers, and his mother and grandmother were teachers. On the weekends, his f ather was music minister at their small country church, and his mother play ed the organ. Today his father serves as mayor of their small town. Shad we nt on to earn degrees from the University of Mississippi, the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar, and Harvard Law School.
Shad was appointed the 42nd State A uditor of Mississippi in July 2018 and won election to the office after est ablishing a tough, no-nonsense reputation during his first year on the job. Prior to becoming Auditor, Shad served as a special prosecutor, won ethics cases against politicians who broke the law, and earned a certificate in f orensic accounting (the use of accounting to discover fraud) from the Unive rsity of North Carolina at Charlotte. He also serves in the military as an officer in the Mississippi National Guard assigned to the 186th Air Wing in Meridian.
The Auditor's office has made multiple notable arrests since Shad became State Auditor. The amo unt of stolen or misspent public money demanded back for the taxpayers incr eased by millions under Shad's leadership. The Auditor's office has pursued aggressive consequences for embezzlers regardless of whether they were Rep ublicans or Democrats. Shad was elected with no opposition to a full four-y ear term in 2019.
Today, Shad, his wife Rina, and their daughters live in Rankin County and are faithful m embers at St. Richard Church.
