Roger Marshall’s complicated history of blurring the line between taxpayer dollars and campaign cash kansasreflector.com/2026/10/09/r...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialReposted by @journalist-sherman.bsky.socialCheck out this collaboration between our @journalist-sherman.bsky.social and @ms.now taking a dive into Sen. Roger Marshall's "history of blurring the line" in his funding decisions.
@kansasreflector.comReposted by @journalist-sherman.bsky.socialAccording to Marshall’s most recent Federal Election Commission records filed in July, no one working for Marshall’s campaign had received a paycheck in the past five years — a situation that campaign finance experts said was potentially unprecedented in the modern era of politics. (2/2)
@journalist-sherman.bsky.socialOn Oct. 13, 2020, Marshall set up a "MANDATORY ALL-STAFF CALL" for both congressional and campaign staffs. Video shows Marshall leading conversations about the campaign. Government ethics experts said that meeting appears to have violated federal rules. #ksleg
@journalist-sherman.bsky.socialAmong other findings, Marshall's chief of staff in March 2020 instructed staff to fly Marshall “from Kansas to Sarasota as a stopover in the future" #ksleg
@journalist-sherman.bsky.socialIn joint investigation with @mepfuller.bsky.social, we obtained records from 2020 — when Roger Marshall first ran for Senate — that appear to show the senator and his top aide using congressional staff and government resources in questionable ways #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2026/10/09/r...

@journalist-sherman.bsky.social“I was called the darling of the Republican Party. I was called a new face of Gen Z Republicans in Kansas. I was labeled before I even had a chance to legislate. And when I did not live up to the hype, my own party turned on me.” #ksleg
@anna-writes.bsky.socialReposted by @journalist-sherman.bsky.socialSome good news to start the week: Two nonprofits will abolish $34M in medical debt for +21,000 Kansans.
“This isn’t actually about medical debt,” said Melissa Morales. “This is about a broken healthcare system that people can’t afford.” #ksleg

@crazeywriter.bsky.socialReposted by @journalist-sherman.bsky.socialLots of discussion during ICE raids in SW KS about whether it would raise the price of beef. The slow-down was too short (basically two days or so) to really have an effect, experts say. But ag relies on immigrant labor & reform is needed. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/06/k...
