Where Marshall stands
- Tariffs and trade
- Supports President Trump's tariffs, including tariffs on U.S. allies. Says 'the tariffs are working' and are bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.
- Iran war
- Says he wants the war over as soon as possible but that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Voted against a war powers resolution that would have removed U.S. forces from the hostilities in Iran.
- Fuel and diesel prices
- Says the main cause of high diesel costs is the Ukraine war, which he says reduced diesel production.
- Health care costs
- Proposed the Lowering Healthcare Costs for Americans Act ('The Marshall Plan'), which has not passed. It would target 'ghost enrollees' in the ACA marketplace, among other changes.
- Medicaid / One Big Beautiful Bill
- Supported the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and denies that it cut Medicaid.
- Housing affordability
- Backed bipartisan efforts to lower housing costs, including a bill he helped introduce that was partly folded into a large housing bill. Supports limiting investors' share of the housing market.
- SNAP / food assistance
- Supports work requirements for SNAP recipients who are healthy, working-age and without children under 14, asking them to work 20 hours a week. Says SNAP fraud has risen.
- Immigration enforcement and agriculture
- Says he has objected to President Trump at times, citing ICE raids in Kansas and a short-term waiver on beef imports as examples.
