Get StartedNorth Fulton plays a significant role in the vitality of our county and state. We need to be prepared to host international visitors and put our best foot forward following protocols that ensure our success. As this business segment booms, we must be well connected to the hospitality industry. We need to attract businesses, retain businesses, lead in innovation, and provide the regulatory and tax climate that keeps Georgia the #1 place to do business. Learn more
State dollars should follow a student, regardless of the academic setting. Students should enter a course of study that allows them the maximum opportunity to reach their full potential, be it a pre-college curriculum or a work ready program designed specifically to match job needs. We have the right, and now have the ability, to know where our local school system dollars are going since HB 139 passed. Learn more
The Second Amendment protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms for defense of life and liberty. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but the General Assembly shall have power to prescribe the manner in which arms may be borne.” Representative Price opposes any law that attempts to take away the rights of law-abiding citizens. We need serious proposals to prevent the dangerously mentally ill and violent criminals from acquiring firearms. As an NRA member, Rep. Price supports a populace that is trained in gun use and gun safety, prepared and ready to take out any assailant that preys upon our children and loved ones, in schools or businesses or entertainment venues or any other gathering places.

Representative Dr. Price has a passion in this area and knows there is much to do to solve the opioid abuse crisis in conjunction with law enforcement and the judicial system. Better prescription controls have been put in place, and tighter laws against synthetic narcotics. The state must compensate for the issues raised in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) continuation. We now have fewer insurance carriers, unaffordable health insurance premiums, and a shortage of healthcare workers. Positive solutions exist that respect the principles of quality, affordability, and choices for patient-centered healthcare. Learn more
Before Representative Price came to the legislature, the Transportation Act of 2015 ( HB 170) raised revenue over the next 10 years to fund many needed transportation projects in our state. There are additional new lanes coming to 400 and improvements in the I-285/400 interchange. Prior T-SPLOST passage will also see specific projects in the near future that were agreed to for our area. In 2018 we should see the new cohesive and affordable transit system plan that will benefit North Fulton. We also look forward to the future development and introduction of autonomous vehicles.

The main job of the legislature is to set the state budget. The Fiscal Year 2019 budget sets state spending at $26 billion, a $1.03 billion or 4.1% increase over FY2018. The state is spending less per capita, however, than it was in 2008. The new spending is in the non-discretionary areas of education: K-12 and Higher Ed (56.3%), healthcare and human services (33.6%), and for all of public safety, economic development, general government agencies, and debt service (10.1%). Specific notable areas of appropriations include deepening the Savannah harbor paid for by bonds, assistance with rural downtown redevelopment, new school buses, grants for school security, a one-time benefit adjustment for retired state employees, a “Georgia grown” marketing program, child advocacy centers, hurricane debris removal, behavioral health services such as crisis services, opioid abuse counseling and suicide prevention, increased nursing home reimbursement rates, Dual Enrollment growth response, and the Teacher Retirement System.
