| Info | Kevin Hagan White is an American politician best known as the longest-serving Mayor of Boston, a position he held from 1968 to 1984.
White successfully ran for Mayor in 1967 on a populist platform that included support for rent control. One of his slogans was "When landlords raise rents, Kevin White raises hell." Rent control became the law in Boston in 1970.[1] White beat Louise Day Hicks who had taken a strong anti-desegregation position as a member of the Boston School Committee. Hicks' slogan was the coded "You know where I stand." White won by approximately 12,000 votes after he was endorsed by the Boston Globe, the paper's first political endorsement in decades. Mayor White defeated Hicks by a larger margin in his bid for a second term.
