On May 10, 2026, Marshall expressed gratitude to the Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights (CAPR) for naming him Legislator of the Year. In his post, he stated, “Thank you Citizens’ Alliance for Property Rights for naming me Legislator of the Year. I am honored, and I am glad you are in this fight with me. In a state where the democrat solutions are always ‘more taxes, more control, and more mandates,’ CAPR keeps reminding everyone that”.
Later that day, Marshall criticized Senator Pedersen’s approach to voter engagement concerning income tax legislation. He wrote on May 10, 2026: “Senator Pedersen is smug and condescending as he disregards voter input on the income tax, discounts massive public sign ins, pushes a “necessity” clause to block a referendum on the advice of the AG office, and refuses any accountability for shutting voters out. Same guy openly”.
On May 13, 2026, Marshall referenced outreach from an advocacy group focused on gun policy. He posted: “Alliance for gun responsibility asked me to fill out their candidate questionnaire… here is my response:”.
Marshall has previously positioned himself as an advocate against increased taxation and government mandates in Washington State legislative debates.
