Roger Marshall wants you to know he's a real Kansan: Fishing and back roads

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is inviting scrutiny into how often he’s in Kansas, taking a tour of rural parts of the state around Wichita to highlight where he grew up and where he lives now. The article describes a cabin on 320 acres with hunting land and a fishpond, plus a prior family home in Great Bend and a Florida home acquired in 2019. Marshall says he spends between 160 and 200 days each year in Washington, D.C., and up to 150 days in Kansas, after calculating his schedule. He argues accusations of absenteeism are based on social-media narratives and mentions that his wife signed closing documents to sell the Florida home. The piece frames the tour as a response to questions tied to property records, tax filings, and fishing licenses.
