Roger Marshall voted last week to block a war powers resolution on Iran.
His explanation was “patience.”
Here’s my position: no war without congressional authorization.
The founders wrote it that way for a reason — they’d seen what unchecked executive war-making looked like.
Having a good time connecting with folks at Open Streets ICT.
If only the wealthy can run for office, they stop listening to us and start controlling us. That's the system we have. I'm running to change it. Chip in $5 or $10 and let's take our government back.
It takes millions of dollars to run a campaign in America. I don't have rich friends writing me big checks. This campaign is grassroots – built on $5 and $10 donations from regular Kansans who are tired of a system that works for everyone but them.
Senator Marshall ran out the back door when people asked simple questions. He's got a seaside Florida home to go back to. I'm hitting the road – listening, rolling up my sleeves, showing up. That's what Kansas deserves. Let's go.
Where I come from, if you want something done, you get your hands dirty and do it yourself. Kansas is full of people living that. But the work ethic and the output don't match the paycheck anymore, and our leaders don't even know what's happening out here.
A Kansas news outlet shared a brand new independent poll yesterday.
It has me 4 points ahead of Roger Marshall.
It confirms what we've been saying all along: Kansas is flippable.
You in?
I'm running in a red state as a Democrat.
Because the issues I'm fighting for – lower costs, no forever wars, clean government – aren't Democratic issues.
They're Kansas issues.
Corporate landlords bulk-buying Kansas homes aren't investors — they're a housing crisis in slow motion.
When investment firms can outbid families and sit on inventory, prices go up and ownership goes down.
I'd stop it. Kansas homes should belong to Kansas families.
I'm pro-Second Amendment and pro-gun safety. I genuinely don't think those are in conflict.
Close the gun show and boyfriend loopholes. Make red flag laws actually work. Invest in mental health and PTSD programs.
Real fixes that protect people without punishing law-abiding owners.
My grandpa worked hard his whole life. Social Security made it possible for him to retire – and things were still tight.
Privatize it? Absolutely not. I'll protect it – and I'll fix it by making the ultra-rich pay the same share the rest of us do.
No stock trading, no crypto, no corporate PAC money. Ban Congressional stock trading. No taxpayer-funded first-class flights. Block officials from using insider info for prediction market bets. Overturn Citizens United.
This is what cleaning it up actually looks like.
Right to repair should be obvious: if you own something, you should be able to fix it without being forced to pay a manufacturer's dealership to run a diagnostic.
For Kansas farmers, this is a real financial issue every season.
I'd protect right to repair. Full stop.
His answer to Kansas families and farmers paying the price? "Get over it." That's not a senator. That's someone who's never had to live with the consequences of his own decisions. Roger – what the hell are you doing, man?
Roger Marshall said Iran's nuclear capabilities were obliterated and set back years. The intelligence community doesn't agree. He can't provide a shred of evidence. And now gas is up, Kansas farmers are getting crushed on fertilizer and diesel costs.
According to a Farm Bureau survey, one in three Midwestern farmers are entering planting season without securing all of their fertilizer needs. 94% of farmers reported their financial situation has worsened or hasn’t gotten better in the past year.

I'm the son of a pipefitter and a nurse from El Dorado. My wife Chelsea is an OB/GYN nurse. We're raising our kids in Kechi.
I'm not running because I always wanted to be a politician. I'm running because someone has to stand up for Kansas families — and the people currently doing the job aren't.
Has insurance ever denied you care your doctor said you needed?
That's legal.
I'd ban it.
Have you ever avoided a doctor, a hospital, or a prescription because of the cost?
You're not alone. And it shouldn't be this way.
I fought against Taliban forces Iran funded. I'm not soft on Iran.
But I've lived a forever war. I know the price isn't paid in Washington. It's paid in El Dorado and Kechi and every small Kansas town.
Evidence. Objective. Exit plan. That’s the bare minimum when American lives are on the line.
The Marshall pattern is consistent: take money from an industry, then vote in their favor. Pharma. Insurance. Over and over.
Kansans aren't his constituents. His donors are.
I don't take corporate PAC money. Kansans come first.
Here's something that shouldn't be legal: corporate CEOs deliberately pricing up everyday goods to pad profits while Kansas families struggle to keep up.
I'd make price gouging illegal.
Veterans in western Kansas can drive hours to reach VA care – if they can even get an appointment.
We are failing the people who served this country.
Here's my pledge: I don't trade stocks. I don't own crypto. I won't take corporate PAC money.
You'll know who I meet with and how I get paid.
That's the bare minimum Kansans deserve from a Senator.
Infantry grunt from El Dorado. Raising my kids in Kechi.
I've been broke, I've been in combat, I've seen exactly what happens when powerful people stop giving a damn about regular ones.
Let's change that.
I've spent the past few days making my way up Route 23 and stopping to visit with folks along the way.
From Dodge to Rexford, producers take care of their people and the legacies they've built. But they're feeling the squeeze. These Kansans already work hard. DC shouldn't be making things harder.
Kansas and Oklahoma share the lowest minimum wage in the region — $7.25 an hour.
Meanwhile corporate profits are at record highs. The system isn't broken. For some people, it's working exactly as designed.
Former Rep. Chuck Schmidt knows what service means: he's a retired educator and a former lawmaker. Glad to have him on my team.
Marshall won't stand up to the tariffs hurting Kansas farmers. He won't take on corporations price gouging us at the grocery store.
Because the people funding his campaign are the ones doing the gouging.
