Dr. Roger Marshall, a two-term congressman representing Kansas’ 1st Congressional District, is confident he’ll be the Sunflower State’s next U.S. senator.
This is an open Senate seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS), who endorsed Marshall ahead of the Republican Party primary.
“Roger is a doctor who can help guide this country through a pandemic that has touched every Kansan,” Roberts tweeted on July 21st, 2020. “I sit on the Health Committee and know firsthand how important it will be to keep a Kansas view on the committee.”
RealClearPolitics shows Marshall leading his competitor, Barbara Bollier, by about 2-4 percentage points.
The Kansas native is a self-described “fifth-generation farm kid” who grew up near Wichita.
“My American Dream was to become a doctor,” the first-generation college graduate said.
He completed medical school 30 years ago and served in the U.S. Army Reserves, then settled in Great Bend, KS. During his time as an OBGYN, he delivered over 5,000 babies—an experience influencing his pro-life views.
Here’s how his campaign stands ahead of Election Day.
