Justin K. Price (born December 29, 1964) is an American Republican politician who served as a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives representing District 39, which includes Exeter, Hopkinton, and Richmond, Rhode Island, from 2015 to 2023. ^[1] He was first elected in 2014, defeating Larry Valencia, and was re-elected three times before losing in 2022 to Democrat Megan Cotter by 32 votes after a recount.^[2]

Price served on the Municipal Government and Housing, Small Business, Special Legislation, and Veterans' Affairs committees.^[1]

Several Rhode Island Democrats, including Seth Magaziner, called for Price to resign after Price's refusal to wear a mask at the 2021 legislative swearing in (during the COVID-19 pandemic), and his amplification of conspiracy theories regarding the 2021 United States Capitol attack. Price claims he peacefully marched to the Capitol and that antifa was responsible for a false flag.^[3]^[4]
