	PRICE, NC LEADERS PAY TRIBUTE TO SEN. KENNEDY
	Washington, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Price joined other North Carolina leaders in paying tribute to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. In an interview with NBC-17, Price said Kennedy and his brothers inspired him and many others of his generation to devote themselves to public service. Watch the interviews on NBC-17’s website. “President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Ted Kennedy – they exemplified a certain idealism, a certain energy and vigor, and a commitment to public service that inspired a whole country. And it especially inspired my generation,” Price said. “Teddy was a steadfast champion for the ‘least of these,’ fighting throughout his career to improve the lives of the less fortunate among us. He was indispensable in the efforts to raise the minimum wage for working families, expand healthcare to all Americans, and advance civil rights. His record of legislative accomplishment is unparalleled. He will be greatly missed.”
