Dr. Roger Marshall, a U.S. Senator from Kansas, shared a series of posts on his social media account in July 2025, addressing issues related to agriculture and energy policy.

On July 21, 2025, Marshall emphasized the importance of farmers in the success of MAHA—a program focused on health and agriculture—stating, "MAHA will not succeed without our farmers. Soil health is where agriculture meets MAHA — producing nutritious food for a healthier America."

Later that day, he posted another brief message: "Great news! https://t.co/bXwC0A4z83" on July 21, 2025.

On July 22, 2025, Marshall expressed skepticism about electric vehicles (EVs) and their impact on Kansans: "I’ve said from the beginning that this was going to be a boondoggle. EVs (especially the batteries) are terrible for the environment and are not economically viable without government giveaways. This plant will only result in higher utility costs for Kansans, and a huge bill https://t.co/2PKYMgwHyI"

Marshall's statements reflect ongoing national debates about sustainable agriculture practices and renewable energy initiatives. His comments align with broader discussions regarding federal support for electric vehicle manufacturing and concerns about potential increases in utility costs linked to new industrial plants.

Senator Marshall has been known for his advocacy on behalf of Kansas' agricultural community and has frequently voiced concerns over federal policies that he believes may negatively impact rural economies or burden local consumers.
