Senator Marshall backs Iran memorandum of understanding to avoid 'forever war'

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Roger Marshall expressed strong support for a new 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran, emphasizing a desire to avoid a "forever war" and a ground invasion that could result in mass civilian casualties. Pointing to his family's deep military history and the 13 American lives already lost in the 100-day conflict with Iran that began in February, Marshall outlined four primary goals for the agreement: preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, avoiding prolonged conflict, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and ensuring affordable gas and groceries for Americans.

United States seeks to convert Iran's weapons-grade uranium for energy use

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Under the new Iran agreement, United States negotiators are working to downblend an estimated 1,000 pounds of Iran's 60 percent enriched uranium into material suitable for nuclear energy. Senator Roger Marshall likened the plan to what he described as a Reagan-era effort that converted Soviet weapons-grade uranium for civilian use, adding that the Iranian material could potentially be transferred abroad for energy purposes while allowing inspectors access and helping prevent development of a nuclear weapon.

Senator Marshall clarifies no American taxpayer dollars going to Iran

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pushing back against widespread rumors, Senator Roger Marshall clarified that the newly negotiated agreement with Iran does not involve sending any American taxpayer dollars to the Iranian government. Instead, the deal allows Iran to sell its own oil and potentially access previously frozen assets, though any regional expenditures would be overseen by a regional council and remain subject to what Marshall described as a strict United States veto to ensure the funds are not used to finance terrorism.

Vice President Vance proposes internationally monitored buffer zone in Lebanon

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of ongoing ceasefire negotiations to prevent the Middle East conflict from reigniting, Vice President JD Vance has been pushing for a new deconfliction mechanism to ease tensions between Israel and Lebanon, where Israel has maintained a security buffer zone. Senator Roger Marshall praised what he characterized as Vance's buffer zone proposal, comparing it to the space established in Korea in the 1950s and stating it is necessary to prevent Hezbollah — a United States-designated terrorist organization — from using tunnel networks to launch invasions into Israel.

Senate overwhelmingly passes 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aimed at expanding housing supply and driving down costs for American families. The legislation focuses on streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing rules for manufactured housing, empowering community banks and updating multifamily financing tools to combat a market where Senator Roger Marshall noted housing costs have surged significantly in recent years.

New housing legislation caps Wall Street home ownership

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an effort to protect local real estate markets, the recently passed 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act includes a provision restricting the number of single-family homes large institutional investors can own, while providing exceptions for build-to-rent properties. Senator Roger Marshall highlighted the measure as a critical protection for rural and midsized communities, ensuring large corporate investors do not dominate local housing markets and price out young families looking to purchase their first homes.

Federal bill pushes for local housing deregulation

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Addressing complaints from contractors regarding two-year delays for new construction, the new 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to streamline federal environmental reviews while pressuring local municipalities to reduce their own regulatory red tape. Senator Roger Marshall praised several Kansas communities — including Russell, Salina, Hutchinson, Abilene and Kansas City, Kansas — for accelerating local housing projects and cutting bureaucratic delays to meet growing demand.

Upcoming 'price tags' bill aims to lower health care costs

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Roger Marshall announced plans to advance a new health care transparency bill through committee next month that would require health care providers to disclose their prices upfront. He stated that the legislation, formally called the Patients Deserve Price Tags Act, could eventually reduce overall health care costs for American families by fostering market competition, preventing surprise billing and eliminating hidden medical fees.

Senator Marshall pushes for SAVE Act despite filibuster hurdles

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ahead of a scheduled meeting with President Donald Trump, Senator Roger Marshall reaffirmed his commitment to passing the SAVE Act, an election-integrity bill that would require voters to show identification and provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote. While the bill has the support of at least 50 Republican senators, it currently lacks the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster, and Marshall acknowledged hesitation among some Republicans to abolish the legislative filibuster rule to force the measure through.

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas is experiencing a significant manufacturing boom that has helped drive record gross domestic product growth across the state. Officials credit the recent economic surge to increased investments in local infrastructure, job creation initiatives and a focus on expanding the state's industrial and manufacturing sectors.
