Roger Marshall loves to play the underdog, claiming that big banks, pharmacy benefit managers, and big food companies hate him. But recent reporting from MeidasTouch reveals that those industries are the ones financing his Senate campaign. Marshall has accepted over $200,000 from the organizations that he claims are his biggest haters, revealing where his true loyalties lie.
“Roger Marshall paints himself as someone who fights big corporations on behalf of his constituents, but that is nothing more than a bold-faced lie,” said American Bridge 21st Century Spokesperson Gus Nathanson. “Those very same corporations are the ones sending him checks, and no matter what he says, he will always prioritize them over the people of Kansas.”
