Betsy Price

It is incredibly well known that in the Republic of Texas, you've had some really sore, sour grapes Republicans who have lost primaries, who have actually campaigned and have asked Democrats Democrats to cross the line and vote for them when they were losing in their primary.

One case in point was one of the county judges here, Tim O'Hare versus Betsy Price a couple of years ago.

She literally cut an ad asking for Democrats to cross the line and vote for her in the Republican primary.

John Cornyn virtually did the same thing, and he has fought zealously for open primaries.

true.

Betsy Price is 77.

How's she holding up?

Hopefully pretty good.

But you know, dude, there's, If I was going to if I was going to you guys, you know, guys like Charlie Guerin, you know, Dade Phelan, you probably saw this article that was put out by the Star-Telegram, which is, you know, fake news, just as left wing as the Democrat Morning News is now.

But you saw Dade Phelan, Charlie Guerin, Betsy Price.

These folks, these are all individuals in Texas that you all wouldn't and John Cornyn who are not going to be supporting and Karl Rove are not going to be supporting Ken Paxton.

If you if you looked at the Republican Party writ large, those elected and elected on the federal level or even here in our own state, give me a percentage of those in the Republican Party.

We could not imagine a better woman to begin this series than someone Fort Worth knows simply as Mayor Betsy.

Today, we're going beyond the public title to meet Betsy Price, a wife, mother, grandmother, businesswoman, woman of faith, champion of healthy living, and servant leader behind it.

All right.

Welcome back to the podcast.

Today, we are honored to welcome former Fort Worth mayor, Betsy Price, the one and only.

She is a lifelong Fort Worth resident.

Mayor Price began her career as a businesswoman before entering public service.

... at my age, but ...

You're no different than everyone else.

Betsy Price, Mike Moncrief, you know, Dee Kelly, all of you Fort Worth Way thought you were better than politics and that you were somehow at an objective mindset, is wrong.

So get it right, Bud Kennedy.

We're counting on you.

They call her a Rhino.

So it's the same issue that Betsy Price had when she ran for county.

But because the right has gone so right, it's the same way people feel in the city.

So she, she's really stuck, and I just think I hit a chord.
