Kansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall pays a Kansas bakery $1,300 after an owner says the senator’s 2020 campaign left a bill unpaid for custom treats. The payment follows public accusations that Marshall’s campaign did not settle charges dating back roughly six years.
Multiple outlets report the dispute centers on an order placed for Marshall’s 2020 Senate primary watch party, including custom cookies featuring his campaign logo, along with cupcakes and brownies. The bakery owner, Holly Thomas of Holly’s Sweet Treats in Hutchinson, publicly described the unpaid balance and the age of the debt, which drew attention online. Days later, Marshall’s campaign makes the payment, described as covering the amount owed and bringing the matter to a close. The accounts focus on the timeline—from the original order for election-related events to the later viral attention and eventual settlement—without indicating further legal action or other consequences.
