Sen. Roger Marshall can choose to be a statesman or cater to culture wars – The Topeka Capital-Journal

Topeka Capital-Journal

Sen. Marshall has a legacy already. One of a few senators who objected to the electoral college results because his constituents "have concerns over voting irregularities" in other states. Strangely these irregularities only happened in states where Joe Biden won. Don't get cute, Senator, if you really believe the votes were fraudulent, say so.

Apparent acceptance of the big lie fits the pattern you established as a representative. Beat the culture war drums and appeal to irrational fear of "losing our country" while taking good care of Charles Koch and the investor class.

What are you going to do to help the average Kansan? Here's an idea. Vote for the coming COVID-19 relief bill. Lower the minimum eligible joint income level to less than $70,000 (pick a number). Pick another number for small business but get it down fast.

Here's another idea, fix the loophole that allows for unlimited subsidized crop insurance. While you are at it, push the USDA to fully support research that helps regenerative agriculture. Every Kansas farmer and rancher knows that the weather is getting more extreme and erratic even if the Farm Bureau pooh-poohs it.

If Obamacare is such an abomination, come up with an alternative. Get specific, no more generalities. Rural Kansas doesn't have the problem of too much and too cheap health care.

Dr. Marshall you have a choice. Help Kansans form a conservative viewpoint or keep milking the culture war cow. The latter will get you re-elected, the former will get you remembered as a statesman. Your call.
