§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Economy, Jobs and Trade
Social Security and Medicare
His campaign website says he leads bills that would set 24- and 72-hour deadlines for prior-authorization decisions in Medicare Advantage and bar retroactive denials and automated denial algorithms.11
- Expand Medicare Advantage and encourage more private plan options
- Keep current rules
- Tighten rules on what these plans are paid and when they can require approval for care
His campaign website says he cosponsors the CONNECT for Health Act (S. 1261) to make the telehealth flexibilities adopted during COVID permanent.11
- Add more services by law, such as permanent telehealth from home and testing and treatment by pharmacists
- Leave new coverage mainly to Medicare's own reviews of the medical evidence
- Add services only when savings elsewhere in Medicare cover their cost
Health Care
His campaign website says he supports Medicaid for children, seniors, pregnant women and people with disabilities, with work expectations for adults who are able to work.12
- Require work or community activity for adults who are able to work
- Keep the requirement but ease it, such as with wider exemptions or less frequent checks
- No work requirement to keep coverage
Veterans
His campaign website says he cosponsors the Major Richard Star Act (S. 1032), which it says would end the offset that makes veterans medically retired with combat injuries choose between retirement pay and disability pay.13
- Let all military retirees with service-connected disabilities collect both payments in full
- Expand benefits for some groups, such as combat-injured retirees with under 20 years of service and surviving spouses who remarry
- Keep current rules, which already pay both in full to some retirees, such as those with 20 or more years of service and a disability rating of at least 50%
Agriculture and Rural Life
His campaign website says he cosponsors a bill (S. 593) to make the summer waiver for E15 gasoline permanent so it can be sold all year, and describes year-round E15 as the highest-impact energy issue for Kansas.14
- Expand biofuel use, such as by allowing E15 sales all year
- Keep the current requirements
- Lower the requirements or end the Renewable Fuel Standard
His campaign website says Kansas farms depend on the H-2A program, that he has worked on H-2A changes in committee and with Kansas farm groups, and that cutting off legal farm labor is not the answer.15
Immigration
His campaign website says he cosponsors the Build the Wall Act (S. 42).15
His campaign website says he cosponsored the Laken Riley Act, signed into law in January 2025, which it says requires immigration detention of unauthorized immigrants who commit certain crimes such as burglary or theft.15
His campaign website says he has worked with Kansas sheriffs to expand the state's participation in 287(g) agreements and to have the state insurance pool cover sheriffs who take part.15
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website says he has voted against several short-term government funding bills that it says added spending without offsets.16
His campaign website says he voted in 2025 to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent, naming the small-business deduction, full expensing, research expensing and the expanded child tax credit.16
§4Popular bills that never got a vote
Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.
While Roger Marshall served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Roger Marshall sponsored or cosponsored 33 of the 50. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.67

Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $2,698,033 supporting and $28,292,761 opposing Roger Marshall this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 26, 2026.68
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| PEOPLE OVER POLITICS ACTION FUND | — | $11,134,270 |
| WinSenate | — | $8,231,916 |
| Lower Costs Now | — | $5,818,522 |
| THE 1861 INITIATIVE | — | $1,461,683 |
| Americans for Prosperity Action, Inc. (AFP Action) DBA CVA Action and DBA LIBRE Action | $1,299,447 | — |
| New Deal for All, Inc. | — | $908,610 |
| Government That Works PAC | — | $420,030 |
| Protect Freedom Political Action Committee | $407,953 | — |
Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§6Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Roger Marshall at efdsearch.senate.gov69.
