Four Price's bio:
State Representative Four Price, a fourth-generation Texan from Amarillo, has the privilege of serving as the results-oriented voice for constituents residing in five Texas Panhandle counties – Carson, Hutchinson, Moore, Potter and Sherman. In 2020, Price was elected to a sixth term in the Texas House of Representatives where he continues to vigorously advocate for the betterment of the Texas Panhandle and the entire Lone Star State.
Representative Price serves on the House Public Health Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee. Price also co-chairs the Health and Human Services Transition Legislative Oversight Committee which was established pursuant to legislation he sponsored. Price also served on the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission for four years, including two of those years as vice-chairman, where he led the Commission's House member delegation.
These committees provide Representative Price with additional leadership opportunities in helping influence and shape significant public policy on numerous matters directly impacting the well-being of Texans on a daily basis – the delivery of healthcare services and the sustainability of a reliable water supply. Price believes that access to quality healthcare and clean water, along with sound public education and higher education opportunities, are foundational to the quality of life, job growth and the prosperity of individual Texans and their communities. He further believes that they are especially essential to the sustainability of rural Texas.
In the 2021 Regular Legislative Session, Price authored and passed into law significant legislation regarding telemedicine and telehealth, House Bill 4, and the further strengthening of mental health parity through House Bill 2595. Also, Price helped shape the future of broadband infrastructure in Texas as one of four joint authors of House Bill 5. Additionally, he was the primary House sponsor of Senate Bill 1474, which could aid in the further development of Interstate 27 in Texas.
