State Rep. Betty Price fended off a Republican Party challenge from former Roswell Mayor Jere Wood during Tuesday's primary election.

Price, a retired physician, came under fire from Wood after she made fun of Democratic women and questioned whether HIV patients should be quarantined. Price has said her comments regarding an HIV quarantine were taken out of context.
