The tea ☕

The New York Times reported that Marshall's medical practice charged 18% interest on unpaid bills, sued more than 700 patients, and that at least 81 people were arrested for missing court dates. Marshall called the report a hit job and said he gave free care.
Hamilton ran an ad with a woman who says she was arrested while eight months pregnant over a $50 payment to Marshall's practice. Marshall's lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter calling the ad defamatory. Hamilton kept the ad up.
Marshall ran a $1.2 million ad calling Hamilton a 'pedophile protector.' In 2005 two boys at a church camp said a volunteer touched them. The church's own probe found nothing and let him come back. Hamilton says it was a mistake not to call police right away but denies any cover-up. The man was later convicted of a misdemeanor.
A watchdog group asked the Senate Ethics Committee on October 22 to investigate Marshall. A news probe found texts and recordings that experts say show his Senate staff did campaign work on taxpayer time. Marshall's office denies wrongdoing.
The Kansas Republican Party filed a complaint saying Hamilton used church staff and email to announce his run. The church said it was normal news-sharing. No ruling has been reported.
On January 6, 2021, Marshall objected to counting electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. The Senate rejected the objections 93 to 6.
Marshall did not pay a bakery's $678.75 bill from 2020. He paid it in 2026 after the story went viral.
At the October 21 debate, Marshall said Hamilton was 'funded by Chuck Schumer.' Hamilton said he would not vote for Schumer as leader.
