Washington, D.C. - On Saturdays during the month of June, Time Warner Cable Channel 9 will broadcast Representative David Price's (NC-04) interview on Appalachian Perspective, hosted by Appalachian State University Chancellor Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock, in the Triangle region. The interview is also available online here.

In the interview, Price discusses his formative years in nearby Erwin, Tennessee, his early involvement in politics, and his work representing the Fourth Congressional District, including historic votes on deficit reduction and health insurance reform legislation. The two also discuss Price's support for education, his chairmanship of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, and his work as a member of the Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee.

Rep. Price sat for the interview before addressing the Blue Ridge Parkway 75th Anniversary Symposium in Boone, NC. Earlier this year, Price joined with Rep. Heath Shuler and members of Congress from Virginia to sponsor the Blue Ridge Parkway Protection Act, which authorizes funds to preserve endangered portions of the Parkway for future generations.
