NICK SHIRLEY
Independent Investigative Journalist
Nick Shirley has become one of the most recognizable young voices exposing government fraud, and he does it by going straight to the places where the problems are happening. His reporting on Minnesota daycare fraud and California waste has drawn national attention as he uncovered alleged fraud and abuse involving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and ultimately testified before both the U.S. Senate and House. His work has also helped push Congress and federal agencies to take fraud more seriously. What makes his story so compelling is that he is not reporting from behind a desk. He is on the ground, asking questions, confronting those involved, and showing Americans where their tax dollars are really going.
