Ms. Marshall will accept the award this week during AILA's Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA.
Leslie Marshall is a political analyst, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, and a Fox News Contributor who provides political analysis from a liberal point of view. She receives this award for her in-depth and insightful coverage of immigration issues during the presidential campaign and since the election. Ms. Marshall brings expert voices on immigration law and policy to her listeners, making sure to ask the tough questions and make a complicated issue more accessible to the public. Along with her radio show, she is seen regularly on "Special Report with Bret Baier," "Hannity," and "America's Newsroom," to name a few. Ms. Marshall also writes a political blog column for HuffPost.
