On November 7, 2023, Del. Price was reelected for her fifth term to represent the new 85th District in the Virginia House of Delegates.  She is the chief sponsor of the Voting Rights Act of Virginia (2021) and has focused largely on voting rights, housing justice, and gun violence prevention, among other issues.
