Roger W. Marshall (born August 9, 1960) is an American politician and obstetrician. He is the Republican U.S. Representative for Kansas's 1st congressional district. He was elected in the 2016 elections.
Marshall was born in El Dorado, Kansas. He received a degree in biochemistry from Kansas State University and a medical doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
Marshall has served as chairman of the Board of Great Bend Regional Hospital and has been a district governor of Rotary International. He also served seven years in the United States Army Reserve reaching the rank of captain.
Marshall ran against incumbent Tim Huelskamp in the Republican Party primary election for Kansas's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. Marshall ran with the support of many of the state's agricultural groups, who were angered at Huelskamp losing his seat on the House Agriculture Committee--the first time in a century that a Kansan had not been on that panel. Additionally, redistricting saw the 1st pick up some new constituents in the eastern part of the sprawling district who were not at home with Huelskamp's strong social conservatism. The new map reflected a population decline in Huelskamp's power base in the western portion of the district.
