A Doctor's Note

Fellow Kansan,

I am pleased to report that we secured some major wins for Kansas this week.

First off, the request that I submitted to President Trump for disaster relief aid in the wake of severe storms and tornadoes this past May was granted. President Trump personally called me to share that he was allocating $50 million in public assistance for the following Kansas counties: Butler, Harvey, Sedgwick, and Sumner. This is great news for our state!

Additionally, as part of the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) planned resurgence, Kansas' Chryall became the second largest beneficiary of the restructuring. This means that those who owns with our firm are in our more will be moved to our nation's heartland.

If that wasn't enough, President Trump secured three major trade deals this week alone. One with Australia - opening Kansas beef to be sold to a market that previously had American beef banned. Folks that is the Golden Age of America!

I would also like to take a moment to discuss what I believe to be the greatest betrayal of American trust.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard released a report on the so-called Russian disinformation hoax that found that after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, the previous administration used the entire intelligence apparatus and legacy media to politicize intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.

The Russia-Russia-Russia claims made by the media for almost a decade were built upon lies fabricated by the Democrats. This is the true threat to Democracy, when a sitting President of the United States weaponizes lies and legitimizes them by using the entire intelligence apparatus and the legacy media against the duly elected future President of the United States.

And there must be accountability for it. I will do my part to ensure that happens.

Please know that my family and I take this responsibility seriously and are proud to represent all Kansans in the U.S. Senate.

Sincerely,

Senator Roger Marshall, M.D.

Senator Marshall: The Obama White House Was the True Threat to Democracy

Throughout the week, I spoke with multiple news outlets – including Newsmax, Fox News, and the Joe Pags Show – about DNI Gabbard’s report and its implications, what should happen to those responsible, and the media’s role in perpetuating the hoax.  

During the interviews, we also spoke about other topics, including the MAHA package I am introducing, the importance of the recently passed GENIUS Act for America’s financial stability, and whether the Senate will remain in DC for the August recess to confirm more of the President’s appointments.

Senator Marshall Sits Down With Fox Digital to Discuss The Make America Healthy Again Movement

Recently, I gave an interview to Fox News Digital about the nearly 30 bipartisan bills I have proposed for my Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) legislative package.

GOP Senator Reveals the ‘Dirty’ Secret to Trump’s Make America Healthy Again Movement

For one lawmaker, the path to making Americans healthier starts in the dirt.

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., has styled himself as an early adopter of the Make America Healthy Again movement, a political slogan born on the 2024 campaign trail that has since seen major companies tweak their products to nix artificial additives.

But Marshall sees the initiative, commonly known as MAHA, as one that can start sooner than switching the oil in deep friers or swapping out high-fructose corn syrup for cane sugar in soda.

He has his own four pillars of MAHA, which include dialing up efficiency in agriculture; healthier, more nutrient-rich food; affordable access to primary care healthcare; and addressing mental health challenges among young people.

But it all starts below the surface with soil health.

“Soil is a dirty topic, you know, pun intended,” Marshall told Fox News Digital in an interview.

MAHA diehards and farmers are, at a surface level, at odds with one another, he said. For example, returning to an entirely organic food production process devoid of fertilizers would create healthier food, but also crank up the costs on consumers and strain farmland.

Earlier in the week, Marshall held a roundtable with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to try and bridge that gap.

“Soil health seems to be the common ground,” he said. “So healthy soil meets healthy food meets healthy people. Rather than MAHA telling these farmers what you can and can’t do, we wanted to say, ‘What’s our goal here?’ If we have the same goals, then we’re going to figure this out. Well, the goal is healthy soil.”

Getting those two in a room together, along with experts on regenerative agriculture, which is a more holistic approach to farming that targets soil health by restoring and enhancing ecosystems, is just a part of his plan.

He also intends to drop a massive package of bills that is divided up into categories that echo his four pillars, including legislation geared toward health care, mental health, nutrition and agriculture.

Among the nearly 30 bills and amendments in the package is one Marshall is particularly keen to see codified. The Plant Biostimulant Act would spur usage of organisms that can be placed into the soil and that latch onto the roots of plants that absorb nitrates and more water, he said.

The bill ties in directly with his passion for regenerative agriculture, which uses fewer fertilizers, water and other status-quo farming techniques to produce healthier foods on more sustainable farmland, which, in turn, would yield a cheaper, more nutritious diet for Americans.

“It’s growing more with less,” he said.

Among the various, bipartisan pieces of legislation from both chambers are bills that would push mobile cancer screenings with grant funding, add mental health warnings for kids scrolling through social media, require more transparency in food ingredients, expansion of employer healthcare coverage for chronic diseases, and measures that would allow bleeding edge soil health technology and processes to be considered conservation practices and eligible for Farm Bill funding, among others.

Most bills need to get 60 votes to pass in the Senate, Marshall noted, and that led to a desire to incorporate as many bipartisan measures in the package as possible. It’s also a topic that, in spite of the political polarization in Washington, “unites us, rather than divides us.”

Still, with President Donald Trump in office, he sees the chance for the measures to pass as a kind of now or never moment.

“We’re seeing a time in our lives where the incidence of cancer, the age of cancer, is growing younger and younger, the age of Alzheimer’s onset is growing younger and younger, and we believe it’s an inflammatory reaction to the food that we’re eating that leads to all that,” he said.

“We think heart disease, hypertension, is really an inflammatory reaction… to the food we’re eating and the constantly high sugar levels in our blood system,” he continued. “So absolutely, I think, seize the moment. This is it.”

Senators Marshall & Bennet Introduce Legislation To Strengthen Existing Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills

Surprise medical bills can have devastating economic impacts on families’ checkbooks. The idea that health insurers are breaking the law and unfairly punishing patients and providers is unbelievable. Yet, that’s exactly what’s occurred.

This week, I led the reintroduction of the No Surprises Act Enforcement Act along with Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colorado). The original No Surprises Act was passed in 2020, instilling key patient protections and ensuring an efficient resolution process for disputes between health insurers and providers.

However, the resolution process is not being executed as Congress intended.

Our legislation ensures that out-of-network medical bills are resolved promptly and fairly, with enhanced penalties for any failure by the health insurers to do so. This bill will double down to ensure this law is properly enforced. We are keeping our promises to the American people, who often feel helpless battling the powerful insurers and the health care industry.

Senators Marshall & Risch Introduce Legislation to Strengthen Local Partnerships with Federal Immigration Authorities

On Inauguration Day, President Trump vowed to secure the southern border and empower local law enforcement. With border encounters at nearly zero, he has fulfilled his first promise.

Now, it’s time to act on the second promise.

During the Biden-Harris Administration, local law enforcement had no ally in the White House when it came to enforcing our immigration laws, despite the presence of a program designed to do so. The 287(g) program is a partnership between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state and local law enforcement agencies, allowing designated officers to perform certain immigration law enforcement functions.

Yet, for almost four years, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refused to process new 287(g) program applications, resulting in a significant backlog.

Thankfully, in January 2025, President Trump issued an executive order to approve hundreds of 287(g) agreements, allowing local law enforcement officers to enforce immigration laws.

We can go another step further – that’s why I joined Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) in introducing the 287(g) Program Protection Act to streamline partnerships between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. In doing so, we will deliver tools to our local Kansas law enforcement agencies to undo the damage caused by the Biden-Harris Administration.

I am proud to stand up for the rule of law in America, and to untie the hands of our local law enforcement so they can keep our communities safe.

Senator Marshall Applauds USDA Workforce Reorganization from DC to Kansas City

Earlier in the letter, I mentioned that Kansas City will become the second-largest benefactor of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) restructuring. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins is truly putting America first with this decision – those who work closely with our farmers and ranchers will be at the beating heart of American agriculture.

These changes will:

• Ensure the size of the USDA’s workforce aligns with available financial resources and agricultural priorities.
• Bring USDA closer to its customers.
• Eliminate management layers and bureaucracy.
• Consolidate redundant support functions.

Senator Marshall Announces $6.7 Million in Disaster Relief Aid from the Trump Administration

As I also noted earlier in this letter, several of our communities experienced devastating EF3 tornadoes, causing widespread destruction this past May. Entire towns were leveled, and significant damage was sustained to Interstate 70, public infrastructure, and private property.

I led a letter in June asking for this public assistance, and I am very grateful to President Trump and his administration for quickly fulfilling our request to provide the much-needed assistance to our Kansas communities.

If you are in one of the affected communities and need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our team.

Senator Marshall Applauds USDA Funding Grant for Volunteer Fire Departments

Lastly, I want to share the good news that Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) were released for disbursement.

These funds are distributed to local volunteer fire departments, based upon annual applications for funding, so they can purchase essential equipment, improve their training, and increase their capacity to fight fires and protect property and lives.

I want to thank USDA Secretary Rollins for her thorough review of the funding and allocation to our state fire agencies. These funds are essential for maintaining safe communities and supporting our volunteer firefighters in their dedicated service.
