Marshall pays bakery bill after complaint goes viral
Marshall said the unpaid 2020 cookie bill was an oversight and repaid it with interest after the baker posted screenshots online.
- On Saturday, Senator Roger Marshall settled a six-year-old unpaid campaign bakery bill by transferring $1,300 to Holly's Sweet Treats in Hutchinson, Kansas, following public allegations.
- Bakery owner Holly Thomas posted on Facebook last Thursday that Marshall's 2020 campaign never paid her $678.75 bill, claiming she struggled to collect while her small business navigated the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The invoice itemized $375 for custom sugar cookies, $75 for cupcakes, and $175 for fudge brownies. Marshall claimed he had "no idea how this happened" and immediately apologized after the post went viral.
- Marshall faces a tight Senate re-election race against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton, with RealClearPolitics showing him leading 45.6% to 45.4% less than a month before Election Day.
- Critics contrast this quick payment with Marshall's past as a physician, noting reports that he sued patients over unpaid medical debts with some owing as little as $101.
