Roger Marshall Photo op at Boys & Girls Club, Voted to Cut Programs
BREAKING NEWS | Kansas after-school programs rely heavily on federal support, especially through long-standing initiatives tied to larger spending bills. As This is Topeka reports, funding for after-school programs like the Boys and Girls Club is included in appropriations packages that Roger Marshall has voted against several times in recent years.
Senator Marshall visited Topeka’s Boys and Girls Club on Friday, April 24, posting “great to be there” on social media. “Senator Marshall wants the photo op without the responsibility,” Lauren Fitzgerald, spokesperson for Kansas Coalition for Common Sense, said. “Kansans work hard to give their kids better opportunities. After-school programs like the Boys and Girls Club help make that possible. But Marshall’s voting record shows consistent cuts to these programs. You can’t claim to support kids while voting to defund the programs they depend on.”
