, was one of two cosigners of the GOP plan to privatize Social Security.
In November 2006, when asked about the war in Iraq, Pryce ended an interview with CNN by walking away. In a statement later issued to CNN, Pryce said: "What's happening in Iraq is not a direct reflection on me." The statement also said that "I voted to give the president the authority to use force in Iraq; that doesn't mean I'm always happy with what I see, but I can think of nothing worse for our troops or our prospects for success than having 435 members of Congress second-guessing our commanders."
. The League of Conservation Voters
has named her to its “Dirty Dozen” list of environmentally irresponsible federal officeholders; the nonpartisan organization gave Pryce an environmental score of 13 out of 100 for 2006 and 16 out of 100 for her career record. Price has also drawn attention for accepting more than $90,000 from oil and gas companies and for voting in accordance with Energy Lobby
interests.
In the 2004 Republican party primary, Pryce defeated Charles R. Morrison II, 84%-16%. She won the general election with 62% of the vote, defeating Democrat Mark P. Brown
.http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/?id=474 She had previously defeated Brown in the November 2002 election.
In the November 2006 general election, Pryce faced Democratic Franklin County
Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy
http://www.kilroyforcongress.com/.
The race in Ohio's 15th district gained significant national attention as one of a handful of seats that Democrats had an opportunity to gain from Republicans. In mid-October 2006, the race was generally considered to be a toss-up largely due to Pryce's high-ranking post in the Republican leadership
as well as the strong anti-Republican mood in Ohio. The 15th had long been considered the more Republican of the two districts that divide Columbus, but had become slightly less Republican as a result of the 2000 round of redistricting.
Pryce's race against Kilroy was very close, as she held a lead of 3,536 votes after an initial count. Complete tallies found Pryce winning rural Madison and Union counties but losing her portion of Franklin County (urban Columbus) by several thousand votes. Pryce ended Election Night 1,055 votes ahead of Kilroy, but the difference was within a half-percentage point, which triggered an automatic recount under Ohio law.
After the mandatory recount resulted in 110,739 Pryce votes to 109,677 for Kilroy, Pryce was certified the winner. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/21/AR2006112101264.html
In an article titled "Pork No Longer Paves the Way to Reelection,"http://www.amhersttimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3748&Itemid=27 the Amherst Times cited Deborah Pryce as a counterexample of that thesis:
"[In] several races... the ability to bring home hundreds of federal projects might have made enough of a difference to withstand a Democratic tide. Representative Deborah Pryce of Ohio, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House, issued dozens of news releases over the last 18 months boasting of the projects she brought home to a district that is considered evenly divided between the two parties[:] $2.27 million to convert a mountain of garbage into a green energy center, $1.1 million to help keep residents of a fast-growing suburb from having to pay more in user fees for a new sewage system, and the latest installment in $2.7 million in federal disbursements to 'evaluate freeze-dried berries for their ability to inhibit cancer'.... [At one point] Ms. Pryce’s district stood to get the largest single earmark in Ohio—$1.75 million for a health research institute. In total, the Columbus area lined up about $4.5 million in special money.... By comparison, Portland, Ore.—a similar-sized metropolitan area with no contested Congressional seats—was to receive $625,000 in earmarks."
Pryce's term ended January 3, 2009.
However, on the topic of Iraq, which the House discussed in detail in winter and early spring of 2007, Pryce sided firmly with her Republican colleagues, supporting Ohio Republican congressman John Boehner's H.R. 1062, "holding the Administration and the Iraqi government accountable for progress in the prosecution of the war in Iraq." The bill "requires the President to submit a status report to Congress every 30 days detailing the success of the recent 21,500 troop increase and the extent to which the Iraqi government is cooperating with the US stability efforts. It also creates a bipartisan panel to study proposals from relevant committees, the executive branch, and private sector entities concerning the development of US policy and strategy in Iraq." http://www.house.gov/pryce/07%20releases/022007_iraq_benchmarks.htm
During her successful 2006 campaign to retain her seat, Pryce distanced herself from the Bush administration by stating on CNN radio that, "What's happening in Iraq is not a direct reflection on me." http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/02/pryce.iraq/index.html
(R-Ohio) and David Hobson
(R-Ohio)—helped organize a fundraiser for Bob Ney
(R-Ohio), who later resigned from Congress and was indicted on federal charges. Pryce contributed $2,000 "for Ney’s 2006 re-election bid, not a legal-defense fund Ney is forming." http://www.dispatch.com/election.php?story=dispatch/2005/11/30/20051130-B1-04.html&chck=t
http://www.columbusdispatch.com/?story=dispatch/2006/10/02/20061002-A1-01.html. After the Foley scandal broke, Pryce said, "Apparently I did not know Mark Foley at all. Mark Foley was a friend of mine, but he was a friend of everybody. Mark Foley is very gregarious. We spent some time together but I, just like someone you know for a long time surprises you, he surprised everyone." She also called Foley "sick," a "predator," and "disgusting." http://www.theotherpaper.com/TOP10-5/10-5_substory1.html
, the Franklin County Republican Party, Union County Republican Party Executive Committee, National Federation of Independent Business
, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Fraternal Order of Police
. The Human Rights Campaign
has given a dual endorsement to both Pryce and her opponent, Kilroy.
In the first debate Pryce and her challenger, Kilroy discussed the war in Iraq, the war on terror, taxes, social security, the federal deficit and President Bush.
The second debate was marked by a more heated exchange from both participants. Kilroy referred to Pryce as a "right-wing apologist" and said that "Deborah Pryce continues to distort my record." Pryce countered by describing her opponent as a "far left fringe Democrat" and said that Kilroy, "spews lies and misinformation." The debate was attended by 400 people at the Ohio State University
Fawcett Center and reporters from as far away as Ireland.

Votes in the 110th Congress
Formerly in charge of keeping GOP House members in line with the party's message, Pryce appeared in early 2007 to be changing her voting record, according to the Washington Post, on January 14, 2007: "After narrowly escaping defeat in November, the swing-district Republican bolted from her party's leadership last year. Last week, she virtually bolted from the party. With just one exception, Pryce sided with the new Democratic majority on every major bill and rule change that came to a vote in the past two weeks, even voting against her party on a procedural vote, a move considered heretical in the years of GOP control." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/13/AR2007011301189.htmlHowever, on the topic of Iraq, which the House discussed in detail in winter and early spring of 2007, Pryce sided firmly with her Republican colleagues, supporting Ohio Republican congressman John Boehner's H.R. 1062, "holding the Administration and the Iraqi government accountable for progress in the prosecution of the war in Iraq."
