.@JDVance wants English PROFEISHHINCY to be mandatory. He might want to start with “proficiency.” 😂

He’s coming to Kansas Monday to campaign for @RogerMarshallMD. Here is his speech checklist:

✅ Attack a Methodist pastor’s Christianity.
👉 Loving your neighbor includes neighbors who vote differently.

✅ Insist tariffs are working.
👉 Kansans pay those duties. Calling them a victory doesn’t erase the bill for Kansas consumers.

✅ Explain that Trump is amazing.
👉 Praise doesn’t lower the grocery bill or gas price.

✅ Blame Biden for everything expensive.
👉 This administration has to answer for its own decisions. It’s been two years.

✅ Blame Chuck Schumer for everything else.
👉 Republicans control the White House, House and Senate. Own the results. You are in charge.

✅ Assume the protester must be “illegal.”
👉 Disagreeing with the vice president proves nothing about someone’s immigration status.

✅ Turn an Epstein question into an immigration rant.
👉 The question was about Epstein. Answer it.

✅ Recycle the cats-and-dogs nonsense.
👉 Springfield officials reported no credible evidence supporting that story. He still repeats it.

✅ Act surprised when asked about failures in Iran.
👉 You’re the vice president. Getting informed is part of the job. Veterans & service members demand answers.

✅ Praise free speech until somebody uses it.
👉 Dissent is part of democracy even when it’s aimed at you.

Kansans deserve answers about their bills, their healthcare and this war. Bring some.

Ukrainians keep showing enormous courage in defending their country against Putin’s immoral and indeed evil efforts to conquer a neighbor. They have resisted now for four years and eight months and we should do all we can to help them.

1/2

Dan Tasset, Roger Marshall’s longtime business partner and financial backer, was listed on the 2019 Kansans for Marshall Kansas Finance Team, according to the Great Bend Tribune.

KCTV5 reported Tasset’s arrest on a lewd-conduct charge in 2007. Outpatient Surgery Newsletter quoted a prosecutor’s spokesman saying patrons “could see an individual in a dark-colored SUV masturbating.” Tasset pleaded not guilty and said he was changing clothes. The final court disposition has not been verified.

Today, The American Prospect published two investigations tracing Marshall and Tasset’s business partnership to 1998.

THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Marshall helps write federal policies affecting industries in which his household has investments linked to a major political backer.

That gives the relationship three overlapping dimensions:

POLITICAL SUPPORT

The Prospect reports $218,000+ in individual donations from Nueterra employees and subsidiaries, including $47,600 from Tasset, plus a separate $100,000 from a Tasset-affiliated company to a pro-Marshall super PAC.

Together: more than $318,000 in reported network-linked support. That is not Tasset’s personal contribution total.

HOUSEHOLD FINANCIAL INTERESTS

The Prospect reports $410,923–$1,749,500 in income to Marshall’s wife from a Tasset-linked property fund during 2015–2019.

It also reports her 3% interest in NCM Bioscience Partners, with holdings in NewLeaf Symbiotics and Vestaron valued at $1,000–$15,000 and $15,000–$50,000, respectively.

These are separate categories: campaign support, fund income and investment values.

POLICYMAKING THAT COULD BENEFIT THOSE INTERESTS

Official Senate bill text lists Marshall as an original cosponsor of a 2025 bill easing certain physician-owned hospital restrictions and allowing expansion of existing facilities—policies relevant to Tasset’s business.

The Prospect’s agriculture investigation makes the household connection more direct: Marshall has promoted biostimulant policies involving regulatory changes and proposed federal assistance while his wife holds investments in companies operating in that sector.

If relevant policies lower a company’s costs, expand its market or help it obtain funding, investors could benefit. That is why the household’s ownership matters, even if a policy also has legitimate public benefits.

This does not establish bribery or a donation-for-legislation agreement. It raises a concrete question about divided financial interests: how does Marshall ensure his decisions serve the public when his family could also benefit?

The Prospect also reports that Marshall’s son worked for Tasset-linked businesses. Senate records separately document a paid internship for a Tasset relative in Marshall’s office. Those employment ties add to the relationship; they do not by themselves establish wrongdoing.

Marshall’s campaign told The Prospect he complies with applicable laws and rules. Compliance does not answer every question about how potential conflicts are managed.

Hospital consequences, the earlier court record and full sources follow in 2/2.

If I'm a Republican I am not feeling great about an election year where my party is getting swamped in Kansas.

"My last essay was about the depravity of Trump’s mockery of a mentally ill young man’s brutal death inside a tiger enclosure. That story barely made a ripple. But on Thursday, Trump called Vivek Ramaswamy’s despicable campaign ad, 'pay dirt.'”

Kansans are worried about data centers, and so am I. That's why I've called for a statewide pause until real protections are in place. I'll always listen to Kansans and make decisions based on what's best for working families, not billionaires and special interests.

Ask a Kansas question. Get a Chuck Schumer answer back.

Join Roger Marshall aboard a cookie-loaded train where every track leads to Schumer Avenue. Medical debt? Fuel prices? Artificial intelligence? Different question, same old Chuck refrain.

🌎 Republican Secretary of State candidate Pat Proctor goes global with claims about Kansas election integrity that don’t withstand scrutiny.

In a new Hindustan Times interview, the Republican Secretary of State candidate says January 6 inspired his focus on elections, alleges Democratic election officials dismantled election systems in Colorado and Michigan, and repeats accusations involving George Soros and voting-rights organizations.

The facts tell a different story:

🔴 Colorado voted for Obama in 2008 under a Republican Secretary of State.

🔴 Kansas Reflector denies receiving Soros funding. Proctor provides no evidence to substantiate his allegation.

🔴 Kansas already prohibits noncitizen voting under K.S.A. 25-2416.

🔴 His alleged “Axis of Ballot Harvesting” conspiracy remains unsubstantiated.

💰 Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Labor found 41 labor-law violations involving 31 employees and $93,008 in unpaid wages at Proctor’s restaurants.

Proctor acknowledged not understanding certain federal wage and recordkeeping requirements, arguing that government should ensure businesses know their legal obligations.

Now he’s proposing legislation that could shield businesses from certain regulatory fines when a government information portal fails to explain the rules.

The Secretary of State oversees both elections and business filings. Accuracy, accountability and respect for the law matter in both.

With Kansans already voting, claims about election integrity deserve evidence not speculation.

#Debate Roger Marshall vs Roger Marshall

One lies to Kansas about Tariffs, Fuel, War, Inflation, Corruption, and Affordability.

The other Roger takes $13,000 in campaign checks from Qatar lobbyists. And defends a historically linked major financier of Radical Islamic Terror. Using Foreign Agent talking points on the Senate Floor and flying to Qatar to hear their concerns while calling Kansans “too dangerous” to meet with.

Who won? KS GOP says Roger Marshall.

Senator Roger Marshall WON last night’s debate against Adam Hamilton! 🇺🇸 Strong leadership. Conservative values. A commitment to keeping Kansas free, safe, and affordable. Let’s send him back to the U.S. Senate. Vote November 3rd!

[United Kansas Party @UnitedKansas]

A referee shouldn’t pick sides. Should the Secretary of State?

In this video, @ScottMorganKS explains why he believes the person overseeing Kansas elections should be a neutral referee, putting voters ahead of political parties.

Not Republican. Not Democrat. Something different. #Vote #KSSOS #KsLeg

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

Now do this one! Marshall calls Kansas public town halls too “dangerous”

But flys to one of the largest funders of Radical Islamic Terror - Qatar - to meet with their businessmen and leaders.

Cashing their lobbyists campaign checks for his campaign. Uses foreign agent talking points to defend them against antisemitism in the U.S. Senate hearings.

Who does Roger work for?

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

From @WSJopinion: Roger Marshall backs a giant tax increase. The Kansas Republican runs to the left of his Democratic opponent on Social Security.
