 Currently Priest is executive director of the downtown partnership, tasked with the responsibility for taking "care of a forty-four block area downtown." Together with seven additional aides, Priest is "trying to tell people why downtown is a good place to be, why downtown is important, period, to the city and to the state."
-Priest cites the presence of the Clinton Library as one of the main explanations for Little Rock's recent revitalization. As the former [[Little Rock Mayor]] noted in a 2006 interview, "Little Rock is now becoming a destination." She went on to say that, "Before [the library] people would come here on there way to somewhere, and now they are coming here to visit, to see what's going on, and the city and the state have a lot to offer visitors no matter what their interest is."

At this point Priest married and started a family, two things which greatly influenced her move to the political stage. Indeed, it was after the birth of her first son that she began to explore politics as a neighborhood activist.
