Biography

Roger Marshall is the Republican U.S. Senator from Kansas and lost re-election on November 3, 2026 to Adam Hamilton. First elected in 2020 after two terms in the U.S. House representing Kansas's 1st District, he is a physician and former obstetrician-gynecologist from Great Bend who served in the U.S. Army Reserve. According to his Senate website, he serves on the Agriculture, Finance, Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, and Budget committees.[1][2][3][4]

Basic profile — the most important sourced facts we found.

Marshall was born in El Dorado, Kansas, in 1960 and grew up in Butler County; according to his Senate website, he is a fifth-generation farm kid and the first in his family to attend college.[2][3] He earned an associate degree from Butler Community College in 1980, a B.S. in biochemistry from Kansas State University, and an M.D. from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 1987.[2][3] He served in the U.S. Army Reserve from 1984 to 1991, reaching the rank of captain.[2][3][21]

Marshall practiced as an OB/GYN in Great Bend for more than 25 years.[3] According to his Senate website, he delivered more than 5,000 babies and, as a business owner, led a practice that grew from 5 employees to more than 300.[3] In 1998 he and eight other doctors opened Great Bend Regional Medical Center.[21] He owned Heartland Regional OBGYN from 1998 to 2012 and was a co-owner from 2013 to 2019.[21] He taught Sunday school with his wife, Laina, for over 25 years, served as an elder, deacon and board chairman of his church, and is a past Rotary district governor, the website says.[3] A September 2026 New York Times report, discussed by KMUW, found that during his years in practice he sued more than 700 patients over unpaid medical bills, that more than 80 were arrested and that some had wages garnished; experts the Times consulted said doctors have discretion in how they handle unpaid bills.[22]

In 2016 Marshall defeated incumbent Rep. Tim Huelskamp in the August Republican primary, 56.6% to 43.4%, and won the general election with 65.9% of the vote.[2] He represented Kansas's 1st District from 2017 to 2021 and served on the House Agriculture Committee.[2] In 2020 he won the Republican Senate primary with 40.3% of the vote in a field that included Kris Kobach, then defeated Democrat Barbara Bollier 53.2% to 41.8% in the general election.[2] He took office on January 3, 2021.[21] In the Senate he chairs the Agriculture subcommittee on Conservation, Forestry, Natural Resources, and Biotechnology and the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions subcommittee on Primary Health and Retirement Security.[3]

According to his Senate website, Marshall and Laina have been married for 42 years and have four children and five grandchildren.[3] He received 46.0% of the vote to Adam Hamilton's 51.0%, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[1]
