## Key points

- Marshall circulated a defence video despite advisers’ objections.
- His former practice sued more than 700 patients over unpaid bills.
- The video spread online but had not run as a paid advert.

## Summary

Republican senator Roger Marshall recorded a minute-long video defending his former medical practice’s debt collection during the final days of his re-election campaign in Kansas. According to reporting on his campaign’s internal discussions, senior advisers had urged him to focus on his Democratic challenger, Adam Hamilton, instead. Marshall arranged filming himself and circulated the video outside the campaign after advisers opposed using campaign funds to air it. The clip spread online, but an advertising tracker said it had not run as a television or digital advert. In it, Marshall said his practice treated patients regardless of their ability to pay and sometimes passed unpaid accounts to a collection agency to keep providing care.
