Martina White is a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 170th District and was elected in 2015.
Representative White was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on March 24, 2015 in a special election to replace Brendan Boyle, who vacated his seat after his election to the United States House of Representatives.
In a controversial move, one that echoes the Trump administration's attack on so-called "Sanctuary Cities", White in 2017 issued a statement blaming illegal immigrants for crime in the city of Philadelphia, and then sponsored a bill, asking that her own city be stripped of millions of federal dollars, earmarked for law enforcement.
White resides in the Parkwood area of Northeast Philadelphia. White graduated in 2010 from Elizabethtown College and played field hockey.
