Press Release
As the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S. increases, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) continues to supply public testing facilities at the state and local levels with additional testing kits to match the increase in demand. President Trump and his administration continue to work with state health departments to ensure that anyone who should be tested has the ability to be tested and given results in a timely manner.
“The CDC continues to work with state health officials to provide states with additional testing capabilities,” said U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. “By the end of the week, the CDC will have more than 4 million tests ready to ship to public labs across the U.S. We have the capability to test those who need tested and the CDC has provided our physicians with the ability to test anyone they believe should be tested. This is not a time for panic but instead a time to put into place those practices and procedures we have been taught to reduce the spread of germs. My office has been in communication with the CDC almost daily and I am confident in the work being done by President Trump and this administration to support our health care providers and control the spread of this virus.”

Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D., issued a statement after President Donald J. Trump delivered his annual State of the Union Address to Congress tonight:
“Promises made, promises kept. While Democrats have spent the last year pushing hoaxes and impeachment, President Trump has delivered. Since assuming office, the President has led the American economy to historic low unemployment, increased wages for all Americans, negotiated four major trade deals for farmers, implemented common sense measures to reduce the soaring cost of health care and prescription drugs, and built more than 100 miles of border wall,” said Rep. Marshall. “Tonight’s address to Congress and the American people made clear President Trump is laser-focused on continuing to strengthen American families, promoting our interests abroad, and further ushering our great nation into an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity.”

Press Release
Today, Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D., voted NO to appointing and authorizing managers for the impeachment trial of President Donald J. Trump. Congressman Marshall issued a statement after the vote:
“For months, Democrats said impeachment was urgent and that they’d already proven their case. Then Nancy Pelosi refused to transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate for four weeks and now says we need to see more evidence. It is clear this impeachment circus was, and is, nothing but an attempted political railroading of the President. This is a total waste of time. It is time to get on to the people’s work.”
