Biography
[edit]Born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Price ran his own electrical company before being elected mayor of Lennoxville, Quebec in 1994. He served as mayor until he resigned to run in federal politics in 1997.
He was elected in the Compton—Stanstead electoral district for the Progressive Conservative Party in the 1997 federal election.
After switching allegiance to the Liberal Party, he was re-elected in the 2000 general election. He was defeated in the following election in 2004 by France Bonsant of the Bloc Québécois. Price attempted to re-enter Parliament, again as a Liberal, but was again defeated by Bonsant in the 2006 election.
In the Quebec municipal elections on 1 November 2009, Price was elected president of the Lennoxville borough of Sherbrooke.[1][2]
