Dr. Roger Marshall, U.S. Senator from Kansas and a physician, posted a series of updates on social media addressing public safety for Kansans abroad, medical innovation for rare diseases, and law enforcement achievements.
On February 23, 2026, Marshall urged Kansans traveling in Mexico to take part in a federal travel program: “I encourage all Kansans currently traveling in Mexico to enroll in the State Department’s STEP program. This allows the State Department to know you are in the country and send real-time updates about the situation on the ground.
If you need additional assistance, please contact”.
Later that day, he addressed advancements in healthcare policy for those with rare conditions: “Patients with ultra-rare diseases often face impossible odds.
I applaud today’s framework from @SecKennedy and @DrMakaryFDA to cut unnecessary barriers, speeding the path to new therapies and giving families hope.”
On February 24, 2026, Marshall recognized local law enforcement efforts: “I was proud to honor the Kansas City Police Department’s Narcotics Unit and Task Force officers with a Congressional Record. Their December operation seized 120 pounds of meth and 8 firearms—one of the largest drug busts in Kansas City history.
Thank you to Chief Oakman and”.
Marshall’s background includes growing up as a fifth-generation farm kid in Butler County and earning degrees from Butler County Community College, Kansas State University, and the University of Kansas (official website). He served seven years in the Army Reserves and has delivered more than 5,000 babies during his medical career.
