Jeff and Laura




Jeff Price was born and raised in Central Virginia, and with the exception of a few years, has lived in Amherst County his whole life. He grew up knowing the meaning of hard work.

From the age of six, every summer and Saturday morning was spent with his father, a small businessman and bricklayer, on his jobsites. As he got older, he moved on to carrying block and mortar before leaving Amherst to go to school at Virginia Tech. Jeff came back after 2 years at Tech to go back to work in the family business, and through the efforts of his father and the "next generation," a decent small business, Virginia Lime Works, was born. Over the past 10 years, Virginia Lime Works has grown to be a worldwide leader in the field of Historic Preservation, and they are now branching out into new innovative ways of healthier, ecologically friendly building construction. Jeff is a recognized instructor, speaking and lecturing throughout the United States on traditional masonry construction. Over the past few years he has organized international workshops and has spoken on behalf of tradesperson awareness, education, and enhancement in both the US and in Europe.

Jeff is actively involved in the church where he was baptized and raised, Bethany United Methodist in Monroe. He is the youngest member of the Rotary Club of Amherst, a civic organization with the motto of Service before Self. He is also the President of the Board of Directors of Endstation Theatre Company, a local theatre company that promotes bringing both classic and new, original, locally based productions to Central Virginia.

Jeff and his wife Laura have been married since 2000, are the very proud parents of two wonderful children, Olivia (4 in January) and Jackson (2 in June).

Laura Walters Price may be known as Laura to her friends, Mrs. Price to her students, or Jeff's wife in the preservation community, but the name she is most honored to be called is Momma to Olivia and Jackson.

Laura's roots to Virginia are a little further south than the 24th district.

Her mother grew up in the small southwest Virginia town of Appalachia where Laura spent many weekends and the family continues to gather for the holidays. Laura grew up in Johnson City, TN and moved to Amherst when she became a student at Sweet Briar College. It was there that she met Jeff and they have been together ever since.

Laura holds a bachelors degree from Sweet Briar and a Masters degree in Education from Lynchburg College. She is also a member of the Amherst and Virginia Education Associations. She is currently in her 8th year of teaching for Amherst County Public Schools and teaches Special Education at Central Elementary on Route 60.

This is also the first time I can address you officially. With the conclusion of our call to caucus I officially became the Democratic Candidate for the 24th District on May 30th.

Our Headquarters will be opening up soon and we've got a new number for folks in the western half of the District: (540) 319-4028. Our regular newsletter will be coming soon. We've got a great team for victory come November and I think we've got the best team for moving the Commonwealth forward.

I am honored to be your Democratic Candidate for the 24th District House of Delegates seat.

Thank you,


Jeff, Laura, Olivia and Jackson
