White advocated for development of a new space station called the Lunar Gateway, and an expansion of the Federal Aviation Administration's office that oversees commercial space transportation. White is an active member of the Federalist Society, described as “one of the most influential legal organizations in American history, with intellectual reach and political clout that no other legal group can match,” and the group to which President Trump “effectively outsourced his Supreme Court picks.” White was identified by progressive research organization ThinkProgress as one of eight Trump staffers, a “secret hatchet team,” who are "quietly leading the charge" to "systematically dismantle the federal government."
