On May 1, Congressman David Price visited Lufkin Road Middle School. He toured the school, visiting with teachers and administrators. Representative Price spoke to a group of 8th grade students about his role in government: "At the end of the day, politics is all about making the community better and we all ought to care about that, " he said to the students. He led them in a question and answer session where he encouraged them to get involved in politics: "We live in a democracy and it's our job to care about government and get involved."
