Kansas City – This week, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), spent a day across Johnson, Wyandotte, Jefferson, and Leavenworth counties, with healthcare providers, manufacturers, construction workers, and nonprofit employees to discuss increasing consumer choice in healthcare, STEM education, transparency in food production, and community development across the region.
Senator Marshall’s first visit of the day was to the SelectQuote SelectRX pharmacy facility to learn more about their services, which provide flexible healthcare options for insurance, pharmacy, and virtual services. They discussed the healthcare affordability crisis and how consumer choice can provide relief.
Next, Senator Marshall attended a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the rededication of the KCK Armory and the reopening of Kansas City STARBASE in that location. He highlighted his ongoing support for the program and his successful efforts to secure STARBASE funding for 2026.
In Olathe, Senator Marshall toured the Heartland Coca-Cola Headquarters, which bottles products for several Midwest states and employs over 2,000 people. They discussed food transparency and labeling, as well as the economic impact of the Coca-Cola facility on the region.
Next, Senator Marshall joined regional officials from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development to tour Habitat for Humanity KC, the largest Kansas City home-builder nonprofit in the region, which has assisted over 1,200 homeowners throughout a six-county area. Habitat builds and renovates homes and provides homeownership and home repair services to revitalize neighborhoods and provide affordable housing. They discussed Marshall’s support for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed the Senate in March and will support Habitat for Humanity’s work in the community.
In Oskaloosa, Senator Marshall toured Kings Construction. Founded in 1954, King’s Construction has been in the King family for three generations, providing jobs to over 75 employees and excavation and dirt work to communities across Eastern Kansas and Missouri.
Last, Senator Marshall toured CoreCivic’s Midwest Regional Reception Center facility in Leavenworth and learned more about their agreement with the City of Leavenworth to form a council with city and county leaders, the warden, and members of staff to address any concerns that may arise during operation of the facilities.
