In Congress, Price's priorities are combating the high cost of energy, lowering taxes, stopping illegal immigration, and providing patient-centered health care.

In today's system, patients are often told which treatments are permissible or which doctors they may see. This is putting our most personal decisions in the hands of bureaucrats or insurance companies rather than doctors and patients.
 
In Congress, I have introduced a plan to make health care affordable and accessible for every American. It also puts doctors and patients back in control of health care decisions.
 
It does not put Washington in control. Instead, it alters incentives to contain costs and ensures it makes financial sense for all Americans to be insured. By restoring the power of patient choice, we can return the system to one that is responsive, innovative, and of the highest quality.

It starts by promoting new and clean alternative sources of energy, granting a broad array of incentives to find the "energy source of the future" whether it is wind, solar, biomass, or whatever American ingenuity can enterprise.
 
Next is conservation. By providing inducements for conservation and greater efficiency, we can ease demand for gasoline and other fossil fuels now.
 
And finally, we need more American-made energy for Americans. The United States has bountiful natural resources that are currently off limits to exploration and production. It is time to bring these resources online to reduce dependence on foreign sources of energy.
 
In the end, energy policy should be defined by what we will do, not what we will not do. Taking steps to successfully tackle our energy needs will help families cope with runaway gas prices and ensure continued economic prosperity.

Cutting Taxes:
Did you know there are more than two million words in the entire federal tax code?

It comes as no surprise to most Americans that our tax system is overly burdensome and complex. Even worse, the current tax code discourages ingenuity, restricts economic growth, and punishes savings.

In order to truly reform the tax system we must change it from the core. It is why I am a proponent of the FairTax, a common sense way to overhaul the tax code. The FairTax replaces all federal income taxes - eliminating the need for the IRS - with a national retail sales tax. The solution is simple, fair, and completely voluntary. Even better, Americans gain control of their earnings, not the government.

Beyond broad tax reform, we also need to maintain current tax breaks for low and middle-income Americans, permanently extend tax cuts on capital gains and dividends, and eliminate the "Death Tax."

Education:
Education is the cornerstone of every child’s development. This foundation of learning must continue to be built on the local control of schools that empowers parents and school districts to make the best decisions for their children, not the federal government. Bringing accountability, flexibility, and choice to our schools are vital to achieving results in our classrooms.

The status quo arguments made by those who have never taught in our classrooms have only hindered our abilities to reform education. Simply put, the status quo when it comes to public education is unacceptable. We cannot settle for mediocre results from our teachers or from our students.

I recognize the need to have highly qualified teachers in our classrooms. Teachers that do more than just teach students, but those who reach students to help them achieve their potential. To attract these types of teachers and improve teacher retention rates I created the - “Teacher Incentive Fund,” which establishes performance-based compensation for teachers who improve student achievement in high-needs schools.

Education is a tool and foundation that everyone deserves an opportunity to attain. The cost of a college education should not be an obstacle for those who want to pursue a higher degree. This past year, I co-sponsored the College 529 Invest in Education Savings for Tomorrow Act. Georgia’s 529 plans have allowed thousands of hard-working families to save for their child’s education tax-free. Providing this type of opportunity to those who have the desire to attend college is something we must protect.

Family & Values:
While in Congress, I have worked to ensure that the family and our common values are a top priority. A strong family unit is one that cannot be underestimated.

I authored the "Protecting Our Children Act" to protect our children from child predators by making improvements to the national sex offender registration program.

When I came to Congress, I took an oath to “support and defend” the Constitution. Today, that oath is being put to the test by our courts who believe the phrase “under god” doesn’t belong in the Constitution. This strikes at the core of our rights and liberties, and the courts, in this instance, have overstepped their boundaries. This is not only unsettling, but an abuse of judicial review. I have co-sponsored the "Pledge Protection Act" to guarantee that our federal courts do not overstep their role in this matter.
