§2Who they are

Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

S. Marshall Wilson is a retired U.S. Army infantry officer who served more than 20 years in uniform, including as a company commander and as a plans and operations officer, and he commanded a company that deployed to Iraq.2 He was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 2016 and served there for four years.2 He earned a bachelor's degree in general studies from Louisiana State University and later a master's degree in national security.2 He served as a church planter in the Peruvian Amazon, and he ran for governor as a write-in candidate in 2020 and as the Constitution Party's candidate in 2024.2

Why they say they're running

His campaign website says he is running not as a career move but because he believes West Virginia is worth fighting for, with the goal of securing liberty for its people.2 It says he wants to help return the federal government to the limits set by the Constitution after seeing government and spending grow unchecked.2

§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.

Taxes and Budget

His campaign website says he would vote against every budget that does not balance, oppose spending bills that go beyond the Constitution's limits, and never vote to raise the debt ceiling without real spending cuts.2

Guns

His campaign website says that as a state delegate he advocated for Second Amendment protections and against red flag laws.2

  1. Adopt more red flag laws, including a national one
  2. Leave the choice to each state
  3. Repeal existing red flag laws and adopt no new ones
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Education

His campaign website says that as a state delegate he advocated for school choice.2

Health Care

His campaign website says that as a state delegate he advocated for health freedom, spoke against mandates it calls unconstitutional and sought the governor's impeachment over what it calls an unconstitutional use of authority.2

§4Money

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.

§5Financial 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 S. Marshall Wilson at efdsearch.senate.gov5.
