Janis Price – Co-Founder & Chief Muckracker
Janis Price is a co-founder and chief muckracker of Palmetto State Watch, a conservative organization dedicated not only to educating South Carolinians on relevant issues relating to government integrity, but also committed to doing something about it. Organized in 2022, Palmetto State Watch aims to fill a need in South Carolina to inspire citizens to get involved with local politics with the aim of keeping their elected officials accountable.
Raised in rural New York State, Janis Price graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Economics and Classics from HWS Colleges. She has a diverse background ranging from experience teaching English in Japan, to working with homeless in San Diego, and adjusting claims for a major insurance company.

Her unique life experiences, coupled with a drive to promote honesty and integrity in government, make her well-suited to lead Palmetto State Watch investigations.
