Our very first WLS-AM 890 Next Talk Star. And now she has her own show every week. Shes a self-proclaimed TEA Party conservative and a Chicago native. Raised on the West Side by a single mom, she attended Lourdes High School in Marquette Park while working at McDonald"s to help pay her tuition. She believes strongly in God, family, and the American dream. Her family includes her husband, five children (ages 29 to 9-years-old) and a daughter-in-law. When she's not tracking the activities of the progressives she enjoys, Trussell can be found cheering for her children at events, crafting and running.
