On Health Care:
He and family took hydroxychloroquine to prevent coronavirus
Marshall and his family are taking the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine preventatively against Covid-19.
He told The Wall Street Journal he "would encourage any person over the age of 65 or with an underlying medical condition to talk to their own physician about taking hydroxychloroquine" and that he's "relieved" Trump is taking it.

On Abortion:
Believes life begins at conception and should be protected
He knows a child is a living creation of God from the moment of conception. In Congress, Dr. Marshall co-sponsored bills that would: eliminate all taxpayer funding for abortions, defund Planned Parenthood, and make any abortion after
20 weeks illegal nationwide. Dr. Marshall is also a proud cosponsor of "The Heartbeat Bill," and believes that life begins at conception, and should be protected and cherished from that point on.

On Budget & Economy:
Lower taxes & decreased regulation for American greatness
The less control the federal government has, the better off we will be. By getting Washington out of the way, lowering taxes, and decreasing regulation we are seeing the new age of American greatness again.
For our rural ag economy, it is vital that our producers have fair trade deals to get their commodities to an international market. Doc has and will continue to fight for farmers and ranchers in Washington.

Overturn EPA rules surrounding Waters of the US
Agriculture is the lifeblood of Kansas, and we Kansans know our land better than federal bureaucrats. In Congress, Dr. Marshall played a key role in the 2018 Farm Bill; advocating for fully funded crop insurance, overturning the egregious
EPA rules surrounding Waters of The US (WOTUS), and securing crucial infrastructure and internet access funding for rural Kansas.

On Free Trade:
Supported USMCA trade deal replacing NAFTA
In the Spring of 2018, Congressman Marshall was asked to represent U.S. agriculture at the final round of NAFTA negotiations in Mexico City. Since then, the new USMCA trade deal has been revealed, and must be passed.
Dr. Marshall agrees with President Trump that the United States has been taken advantage of for far too long, but we must consider and prevent adverse effects trade wars could have on our farmers and ranchers.

On Gun Control:
Never encroach on citizens' right to defend themselves
Dr. Marshall is a lifetime member of the NRA. The most basic role of government is to defend Americans and to never encroach on citizens' right to defend themselves.
In Congress, Dr. Marshall has always made sure that your 2nd Amendment rights are never infringed upon.

On Health Care:
Government interferes with doctor-patient relationship
Government-run healthcare has not only harmed small business, but directly interferes with the doctor-patient relationship. We must repeal and replace these broken systems. In Congress, Congressman Marshall voted in favor of the repeal of the individual
mandate, repeal of the Cadillac tax, and the repeal of the medical device tax; all of which President Trump then signed into law. Dr. Marshall supports covering individuals with pre-existing conditions.

On Homeland Security:
Proudly supported a 20% increase in military funding
We must get our federal government back to its core functions--chief among them is national defense. Congressman Marshall proudly supported a 20% increase in military funding in order to fully fund Ft. Riley and the largest pay increase for our troops
in 9 years. We must be certain the brave men and women protecting us have the tools and training they need to be successful on the battlefield, and the confidence that America will never renege on the promises made to them as veterans.

On Immigration:
Turn off magnets for migrants to enter under false pretenses
I've been to the border several times. I know it is a crisis, and President Trump is right: we must build a wall and fix our broken immigration system, and we have to turn off the magnets that attract, promote, encourage and allow migrants to
enter our country under false pretenses. We can build more shelters, we can send more doctors and nurses, more food and water, but proportionately more people will die trying to get to this country.

His nickname "Doc" disallowed on primary ballot
Marshall will not be able to use the nickname "Doc" on the Republican primary ballot.

On Crime:
Protests okay, but we have to be a land of law and order
Certainly I'm in favor of peaceful protest: it's our constitutional right to do that, but we have to be a land of law and order, we have to protect people's lives and property, and looting and rioting and vandalism is wrong, so whatever we need to do
to calm the riots needs to happen. If we need to call up the National Guard, let's call them out, but so far--Kansas? Pretty stable [on Black Lives Matter]. I know we had a couple of little flare ups but I think we're going in the right direction.

On Drugs:
Supports cultivation of industrial hemp
While visiting southeast Kansas, Marshall said he is supportive of hemp cultivation. "I'm 100% behind industrial hemp," Marshall said. "You would pass out from smoke inhalation
before you would get high from hemp. So I'm OK with it. I think it's an alternative out there. It doesn't take much water. There are some opportunities out there for it, so I'm OK with hemp."

On Free Trade:
Trump trade deals provides certainty to farmers
Marshall reacted to U.S. and China's agreement to a "Phase One" trade deal last week saying, "President Trump has now made it possible for long-term success for our families."
"By the time China is done, he will have renegotiated over 50 percent of the United States' trade agreements, giving us long-term certainty for all of our future generations of farmers."
