Senator Marshall: I Came to Congress to Fix the Cost of Healthcare
As millions of Americans grappled with the impacts of the longest government shutdown in history, and the issue of healthcare affordability rose to the front lines, it was what I spoke about the majority of the time when talking with the press.
I joined Fox News, NewsNation, Fox Business, CNN, Newsmax, and KCMO to break down Democrats’ political games and Republicans’ plan to lower the cost of healthcare.

Official Statement from the Bourbon County Election Office – November 5, 2025
2025 City/School General Election
The following was taken from the Bourbon County website, this morning.
“Although the release of election results was not as immediate as in previous years, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to Amber Page, Deputy Election Clerk, for her tireless commitment to accuracy and integrity of our election process. We worked diligently to ensure that all ballots were counted, and all audits completed prior to the publication of the unofficial results.
This election cycle included an unusually high number of write-in votes. Each write-in ballot was meticulously hand-counted and verified within our election software to uphold the highest standards of election accuracy.
The Bourbon County Election Office remains committed to maintaining transparent communication with our residents regarding election procedures and the importance of ensuring reliable and verifiable outcomes. Please note that advance ballots postmarked by Election Day, November 4, 2025, will be accepted through November 7, 2025. The official canvassing of votes is scheduled for Monday, November 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., at 210 S. National Avenue.
I would also like to extend endless appreciation to Jennifer Hawkins, previous County Clerk and Current County Treasurer for continually guiding Amber and I through our first election. Furthermore, I wish to express my deep appreciation to the citizens of Bourbon County for their patience and understanding, as well as to the many volunteers who serve selflessly during each election cycle.
About the Bourbon County Election Office The Bourbon County Election Office is committed to upholding public trust through integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement in all election processes.
Susan E. Walker

The General Election in Bourbon County is next Tuesday, November 4.
With all the division in the country and our county, voting is a citizen’s chance to make a difference in election outcomes.
There are new districts and polling stations in the county.
“All voters were sent new registration cards in late July showing their polling place based on the new precincts,” Bourbon County Clerk Susan Walker said. “In addition, I put a notice out that the Bronson and Redfield locations were shut down to try to save costs in running the elections. Maps of the districts can be found at https://www.bourboncountyks.org/bourbon-county-election-maps-5-districts/.
Here is a screenshot of most of the map:
Bourbon County’s new voting districts, 2025, submitted by the county clerk.
If there are any questions about the polling process, call the clerk’s office at 620. 223. 3800 Ext. 100.
There will also be a 1/2 cent sales tax vote on the ballot. To see how it is worded, see below.
Brad Matkin, Fort Scott City Manager, said at the candidate forum, the sales tax will make the existing sales tax continue for infrastructure improvements. This tax includes tourists and visitors to the community, not just property owners. If any questions, contact Matkin at City Hall, 620.223.0550.

Senator Marshall Op-Ed: Serving Kansans doesn’t stop during a shutdown
Early in the week, I published an op-ed in the Hays Post, writing that despite the ongoing government shutdown, my offices remain open and continue to serve Kansans.
Read the full op-ed HERE or see the excerpt below:
“Washington is shut down – again – and Americans have every right to be frustrated. Once again, the dysfunction in D.C. threatens to disrupt lives far beyond the Beltway. And while the political blame game plays out, Kansans are left wondering how this gridlock will affect their families and their livelihoods.
“It’s important to know how we got here in the first place. A clean, short-term funding bill — known as a continuing resolution — was introduced by Republicans to keep the government open for seven more weeks.
“This measure would have given Congress the time to complete the normal appropriations process, work towards a balanced budget, and hammer out the details of next year’s funding. But to pass in the Senate, the bill needed bipartisan support — at least 60 votes — which means cooperation across the aisle. Unfortunately, that cooperation didn’t transpire.
“Like many Americans, I am frustrated that we are in this situation. But while some federal offices may close their doors or scale back operations, I want to be clear with the people of Kansas: my office is open, and we’re still working for you.”
Senator Marshall Blasts Democrats for Voting Against Military Pay Bill
Disgracefully, Senate Democrats voted against my colleague Senator Ron Johnson’s (R-Wisconsin) bill, which would have provided paychecks for military service members and “excepted” federal employees who have worked without pay during the last 24 days.
Chuck Schumer’s party showed heartless indifference to military families today and federal workers, including members of their own staff, by blocking their pay to push funding for illegal aliens’ healthcare.
The brave men and women of our military risk their lives every day to defend our freedom — and they deserve better than this.
Sadly, on Oct. 31, those military troops will miss a paycheck.
On Nov. 1, the following federal programs will run out of federal funding:
WIC
SNAP
Federal education impact aid
Military tuition assistance
Head Start
All federal employees will have missed at least one full paycheck
Several public-facing programs have already run out of funds, impacting Kansans of all ages across the state:
Some FSA programs and services
USDA Rural Development programs and payments to local contractors
Federal Flood Insurance Program
Medicare telehealth
Acute Care Hospital Care at Home
National Parks
Eisenhower Presidential Library
Senator Marshall: It’s Time for Democrats to Come to Their Senses
As the Schumer Shutdown entered its third week, I spoke with multiple news outlets, including Fox Business, MSNBC, Newsmax, Bloomberg, Fox News Radio, and KCMO, to discuss potential off-ramps, the unaffordability of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), what solutions Republicans are proposing, and our attempts to get paychecks for our troops and federal workers.
We also discussed a potential congressional stock trading ban, renovations at the White House, President Trump’s trade negotiations with Argentina for beef imports, rural healthcare, my Patients Deserve Price Tags Transparency Act, and the strikes against drug cartels near Venezuela.

Senator Marshall: Democrats Own the Problems with the ACA
I also took to the Senate floor this week to call on Democrats to come to their senses and reopen the government so there can then be a conversation about their broken healthcare system.
As I said in part during my remarks, “as all America knows, my friends across the aisle have kidnapped the federal government.
“In fact, they’ve now voted a dozen times not to reopen the government, and even, surprisingly to most of us, twice, they voted against funding the military during these challenging times. I think it’s obvious to all of America that this is a political shutdown, that this is showbiz to them, this is an opportunity for their left legacy media to shout and scream at President Trump and to kowtow to their far-left Marxist base.”

Senator Marshall: We Need to Turn Patients Into Consumers Again
During a Senate Special Committee on Aging, I had the opportunity to question numerous witnesses, including Entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Co-Founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and the Free Market Medical Association, G. Keith Smith, M.D., and Chief Health Director of CalPERS, Don Moulds, PhD. My questions focused on how shoppable services can improve outcomes and lower costs for Americans.
I asked those in the hearing, “Could you imagine going into a restaurant, you look at the menu, have your choice between a good Kansas City strip or some day-old chicken with gravy and cream on it to make it taste good, and not knowing what the price tags are?
“But for some reason, in healthcare, it’s the only industry in the world, in America, that doesn’t have a price tag with it.”

Senator Marshall: Broken ACA Sticks 24 Million Americans with $5,000 Deductibles
In a separate Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions hearing, focused on the 340b program and examining its growth and impact on patients, I was able to question Michelle Rosenberg, Director of Health Care at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, Aditi Sen, Ph.D., Chief of the Health Policy Studies Unit at the Congressional Budget Office, and William B. Feldman, MD, Dphil, MPH, physician and health policy researcher at the University of California.

Senator Marshall Tours Clinical Reference Laboratory & Highlights Dangers of Synthetic Kratom Compound “7-OH”
Earlier today, I joined leaders from the Clinical Reference Laboratory and the Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) to raise awareness about the growing threat of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) – a powerful, unregulated opioid compound derived from the kratom plant and now widely available in retail stores across the United States.
This product, despite sometimes being marketed as harmless, can, in fact, be 13 times more potent than morphine.
During this tour, I met with Matt Roney and Bob Thompson of Clinical Reference Laboratory and Dan Neill, Executive Director of the Midwest HIDTA, to review their findings showing that 7-OH is being sold in gas stations, convenience stores, and vape shops – often disguised as natural kratom products.
What we know is that these synthetic versions of kratom are highly addictive and dangerously misleading. In June 2025, I sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Makary urging the agency to act on 7-OH’s growing prevalence in over-the-counter products. I hope the FDA will provide consumers and retailers with the clarity of knowing what’s safe and what’s not.
It has now been four weeks since the House passed a bipartisan bill to keep the government funded. Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats this week have continued their filibuster blockade against the House’s clean continuing resolution, so the federal government remains shut down.
Yesterday, after Senate Democrats voted for the 10th time to keep the government closed, Senate Republicans tried to bring up a standalone bill to fund the Department of Defense, and the Democrats blocked the Senate from even beginning debate. This is completely unacceptable. The Defense Appropriations bill has broad, bipartisan support. It passed out of the Senate Appropriations Committee 26-3 earlier this year. But, Schumer and his allies won’t even let the Senate begin debate as they continue their effort to appease their far-left base.
I’m grateful that President Trump and Secretary Hegseth took extraordinary measures this week to ensure our men and women in uniform received their October 15 paychecks. And, as I mentioned last week, I have cosponsored the Pay Our Troops Act, which would ensure our military personnel would continue to get paid during the government shutdown. But, this would not be necessary if Sen. Schumer would either pass the House continuing resolution or allowed the full-year Defense Appropriations bill to move forward.

Constituent Services
As a reminder, my offices in Washington, Topeka and Pittsburg remain open, despite the shutdown, and available to help with federal agencies including the VA, Social Security, and the IRS.
Regrettably, our ability to help with some of situations may be affected, as many departments and agencies will not be processing casework during the shutdown. However, that work will resume once federal funding is resolved. If you are experiencing an issue with a federal agency, please call my office at (785) 205-5253 or fill out the form on our website, and we will work with you on the paperwork that must be completed so we can file your case as soon as we are able.
As the son and grandson of small business owners, I am proud to serve on the House Small Business Committee. We have made great accomplishments for Main Street businesses already this Congress — most importantly by ensuring they did not face a massive tax increase by extending key small business tax provisions in the reconciliation bill President Trump signed into law this summer.
Permanently extending Opportunity Zones, which incentivize economic growth and job creation in underserved communities.
Increasing and making permanent the estate and gift tax exemption, ensuring that farms and small businesses can be passed on to the next generation without being subject to the “death tax.”
In addition, the House recently passed a bill that would reauthorize the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) loan programs, which provide early-stage technology funding for small businesses. Unfortunately, the Senate has not yet taken up this simple, bipartisan reauthorization bill in the midst of the the shutdown, and these programs have now lapsed. I hope they will act soon so small businesses do not remain casualties of the shutdown politics.
Finally, I am pleased that the House’s National Defense Reauthorization Act (NDAA) contains an amendment I championed that will make it easier for small businesses to contract with the Department of Defense. The Senate passed its own version of the NDAA last week, so negotiations are now ongoing to resolve the differences between the House and Senate and produce the final bill. I’m working with my House colleagues to ensure my amendment remains in the final bill.
Several members of the Kansas Legislature were in Washington this week, and I was pleased to be able to give them a tour of the Capitol during their visit. I’m also grateful to Stu and Amy Hite from Pittsburg who visited my D.C. office this week.
Senator Marshall Encourages Seniors to Take Advantage of Medicare Open Enrollment
If you’re a Kansas senior, you should be aware that Medicare Open Enrollment began on Wednesday, Oct. 15. This is the one time of the year Medicare recipients can make changes to their plans, if necessary. Those who are happy with their plans do not need to take any action to retain their current coverage and plan options. Open enrollment ends on Dec. 7.
My office is a resource for Kansas seniors who have questions about Medicare open enrollment. I have staff ready to assist, and we have updated our online resource page to help Kansas seniors navigate the Medicare open enrollment season. Kansas seniors can use this webpage to research Medicare benefit plans, find resources for benefits counseling, learn about avoiding scams, and read about other important information related to Medicare open enrollment.
If you have questions about open enrollment or Medicare in general, please don’t hesitate to call my Salina office to speak with a casework specialist. The Salina office can be reached at 785-829-9000.
Senator Marshall: Charlie Kirk’s Life Inspired a Return to Faith & Freedom
This week, I joined Jake Tapper on CNN, where, in addition to discussing the ongoing Schumer Shutdown, we spoke about the ceremony where President Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, as well as the lasting legacy of Charlie Kirk.

Senator Marshall Holds Roundtable for Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Lastly, I participated in a roundtable hosted by the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence alongside law enforcement, victim advocacy organizations, and state officials to address domestic violence incidents in Kansas. The event coincides with Domestic Violence Awareness Month and comes at a time when domestic violence-related service requests are increasing statewide.
Participants included the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence (KCSDV), Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay, Shawnee County Sheriff Brian Hill, leaders from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), and representatives from several community-based organizations serving survivors, including The Crisis Center Inc., Jana’s Campaign, Options Inc., and the Boys & Girls Club of Topeka.
This roundtable was about building stronger partnerships between federal, state, and local agencies to address an epidemic of violence that affects every corner of Kansas. Law enforcement officers are putting their lives on the line, and survivors are reaching out for help in record numbers.
