David Price reflects on 3 decades in U.S. House ahead of retirement"},"content":{"rendered":"

For Rep. David Price, there will never be a perfect moment to retire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever a safe time to step down,\u201d he told The 9th Street Journal. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for closure, this isn\u2019t the job for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Imperfect as it may be, Price\u2019s time to bow out of politics has come. He announced on Oct. 19 that he will not run for re-election after a 24-year career serving North Carolina\u2019s 4th District. As his career comes to a close, Price reflected on his <\/span>accomplishments<\/span><\/a> and offered his thoughts on the future of America\u2019s political institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

He had expected to retire earlier, but the 2016 presidential election halted his plans, he said. After spending a decade and a half helping other countries bolster democratic institutions through the House Democracy Partnership he founded, his own country\u2019s democratic norms faced a new threat: Donald Trump. He couldn\u2019t leave, he decided, and instead spent much of the next four years working with other Democrats to restrain Trump.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Price also postponed his retirement because he anticipated Democrats winning back the House in 2018. With his party in control, he became the House\u2019s Transportation and Housing Appropriations Subcomitte\u2019s chair and discovered a \u201clong list of things\u201d he could do as a leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been very satisfying to serve in leadership roles and end up getting a lot of things done,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Institutionalist<\/h2>\n

Price has a simple recipe for success: He gets things done without fanfare. He first ran for office after watching Democrats get crushed in the 1984 election. He was serving as the state\u2019s Democratic Party Chairman at the time, and when his party lost three congressional seats and a Senate race, he wondered — if the candidate\u2019s he worked for were losing, could he win?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It turned out he could. He was first elected as a representative in 1987.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the hundreds of pieces of legislation that have passed through Capitol Hill while he\u2019s been in office, Price said he is proud that he helped enable students to deduct loans from taxes through the Education Affordability Act. He also highlighted how he expanded federal teacher training programs with the Teaching Fellows Act and required political candidates to say, \u201cI approve of this message,\u201d in ads with the Stand By Your Ad Act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Locally, Price\u2019s fondest wins include helping to bring an Environmental Protection Agency hub to Research Triangle Park, expanding inner city rail in the Southeast, and elevating the issue of affordable housing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price strived for political change through institutional efforts such as campaign budget reform and improved the budget process as a leading member of the Appropriations Committee. On an individual level, he tried to lead through cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou choose the way you conduct yourself everyday,\u201d he said. \u201cIn your leadership positions, you can either put fuel on the fire or you set another kind of pattern where you can, cooperating where it\u2019s possible to do so. I\u2019ve tried to do the latter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooperation, however, has not always been feasible, Price added. While he has facilitated bipartisanship through efforts such as the House Democracy Partnership, he has also tried to recognize its limits and not \u201cfetishize\u201d it. Most recently, he refused to compromise with undemocratic components of the Trump-wing of the Republican party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are times when you need to stand your ground and fight either individually, or as a party,\u201d he said. \u201cYou cooperate where you can, you fight where you must. And there\u2019s a real political art in deciding which is which.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While Price feels more comfortable retiring during a Biden presidency, he still worries about pervasive threats to democratic institutions from colleagues who are seduced by tribal politics and care little about making democratic institutions work. He won\u2019t cooperate with colleagues who refuse to accept election results and want to restrict fair elections, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a new territory here with respect to the future of democracy and the ability to make a peaceful transition of power, and to recognize a legitimate election,\u201d Price said. \u201cWho ever thought we\u2019d be worried about that in the USA?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the eyes of his colleagues<\/h2>\n

Asher Hildebrand, Price\u2019s former chief of staff, believes Price is \u201csomebody who probably doesn\u2019t get as much respect as due.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s partly because he worked as a budget appropriator, a gig that receives little public attention, said Hildebrand, who now works as a professor at Duke University\u2019s Sanford School of Public Policy. But that was the least of Price\u2019s concerns, he added. His goal was to legislate effectively. He wanted his staff to push him into unfamiliar policy territories. Price \u201cvalued policy entrepreneurship,\u201d Hildebrand said, so he encouraged even his youngest interns to provide substantive input on pressing decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis ability to maintain that sense of possibility, hope, and optimism for the future, despite the world burning around us, stands out as remarkable,\u201d Hildebrand said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price\u2019s Congressional expertise made him a particularly effective legislator, Hildebrand added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s really nobody else in Congress today who understands how Congress as an institution functions and understands the vitality of the legislature as a key part of our democracy,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Even now, Price\u2019s experience and expertise carry weight. Folks across the political spectrum should listen to him when he shares concerns, Hildebrand said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

State Sen. Wiley Nickel, who is running for Price\u2019s seat, said Price is known as the \u201cpolicy guy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The representative excels in the art of cooperation, Nickel said. \u201cHe is someone who avoided partisan political games\u201d and has always \u201cfocused on making relationships with his colleagues rather than jumping in front of an issue and grandstanding,\u201d Nickel added.<\/span><\/p>\n

What comes next<\/h2>\n

The race for Price\u2019s seat will be competitive. Regional political heavyweights like Durham Democratic state Sen. Mike Woodard and former state Sen. Floyd McKissick Jr. <\/span>told The News & Observer<\/span><\/a> that they\u2019re considering running. Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam announced she\u2019ll run on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his bid for the seat, Nickel hopes to continue Price\u2019s legacy of policy-oriented public service focused on what he calls \u201cdinner table issues\u201d that matter most to the district\u2019s families. Some of the core policies he plans to run on are universal health care, universal pre-K, and climate change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary will take place on March 8, 2022, and the general election will take place on Nov. 8th, 2022. The filing deadline is Dec. 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price said he has not yet planned what he will do post-retirement: These last 14 months in office have his full attention. He still has to fight for Biden\u2019s reconciliation bill, and his committee already wrote a budget appropriations bill that is awaiting senate approval. He will also continue to work on local policy projects such as housing and transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Political uncertainties will loom over his activity up until his final days, but Price knows he will have to move on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis political juncture is more of an unknown quantity, but at some point, one has to pass the baton, despite whatever is ongoing,\u201d Price said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahead of the impending handoff, Price hesitates to determine own legacy. That is something he would prefer to leave to others, he said. Still, he has some thoughts about how he wants to be remembered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI hope I’m thought of as an institutionalist who has contributed to this institution,\u201d he said. \u201cThere’s a mixed report card, I would say, about how this institution is faring. And I’ve tried to be part of the solution. But if there\u2019s anything that\u2019s a work in progress, it\u2019s that: democracy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
