堪萨斯州共和党联邦参议员罗杰·马歇尔已结清一笔六年之久的竞选账款。此前，一名面包店店主在社交媒体上曝光他 allegedly 未支付2020年选举守望派对订购的曲奇等点心费用。
面包店创始人霍莉·托马斯在10月8日的脸书帖子中表示，她绝不会投票给马歇尔，因为尽管她多次尝试催款，他的竞选团队仍未支付678.75美元的账单。
托马斯分享了发票照片以及一张看似为马歇尔竞选团队制作的定制曲奇的照片。
“你们知道我为什么永远不会给罗杰·马歇尔投票吗？因为六年前，我刚成为一名初创小企业主，他的竞选团队在我的面包店订购了曲奇和点心，用于他的初选选举守望派对。但我从未收到付款。近一年来，我多次尝试追讨，通过电话和邮件联系，但从未接到回电，账单也从未结清，”托马斯在帖子中写道。

“当时我不仅刚刚起步，我们还正处于新冠疫情期间，各地小企业都在苦苦挣扎以维持运营。每一美元都至关重要。制作这些曲奇和点心需要成本，员工需要时间准备，而我的小生意根本负担不起免费赠送这些资源，”她解释道。
“六年后，我没有忘记。这与政党或政策分歧无关。这关乎我作为小企业主的个人经历，以及兑现财务承诺的重要性。正因如此，罗杰·马歇尔永远不会得到我的选票，”托马斯总结道。
马歇尔2020年当选参议员前曾在美国众议院任职。他在10月10日回应了此事，分享了一张向该商家支付1300美元的截图。

“想必有些人已经看到，社交媒体上出现了关于2020年未付曲奇账单的帖子。我们完全不知道这是怎么发生的，但请放心，我们一得知此事，就立即尝试联系商家道歉，并已结清2020年的账单，且支付了双倍金额，”马歇尔在X平台的帖子中写道。

托马斯证实账单已结清。
“但我可以正式确认，罗杰·马歇尔已经付清了他的账单！迟做总比不做好，对吧？六年后，我想我们终于可以在这张发票上标注‘已结清’了！”她在脸书帖子的一部分中写道。“感谢所有人的大力支持！现在，回到我最擅长的事情上！”

Senate Republican settles six-year-old campaign bill after being called out on social media
October 12, 2026 6:12am EDT / Fox News
Sen Roger Marshall is currently seeking re-election to another six-year-term

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., paid a six-year-old campaign bill after a bakery owner called him out on social media for allegedly failing to pay for cookies and other treats ordered for a 2020 election watch party.
Holly Thomas, a bakery founder, said in an Oct. 8 Facebook post that she would never vote for Marshall because his campaign had failed to pay a $678.75 bill despite her repeated attempts to collect the money.
Thomas shared an image of the invoice and a photo that appeared to show custom cookies made for Marshall’s campaign.
“Do you know why I will never vote for Roger Marshall? Because six years ago, when I was a brand-new small business owner, his campaign ordered cookies and treats from my bakery for his primary election watch party. And I never got paid. For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to collect payment, reaching out by phone and email. I never received a return phone call, and the invoice was never paid,” Thomas wrote in the post.

“Not only was I just starting out, but we were also in the middle of COVID, when small businesses everywhere were struggling just to keep their doors open. Every single dollar mattered. Those cookies and treats cost money to make, employees’ time to prepare, and resources that my little business couldn’t afford to give away,” she explained.
“Six years later, I haven’t forgotten. This isn’t about political parties or policy disagreements. It’s about my personal experience as a small business owner and the importance of honoring financial commitments. That experience is why Roger Marshall will never get my vote,” Thomas concluded.
Marshall — who had been serving in the U.S. House of Representatives when he won election to the U.S. Senate in 2020 — addressed the issue on Oct. 10, sharing a screenshot showing a $1,300 payment to the establishment.

“As some folks may have seen, there was a post on social media regarding an unpaid 2020 cookie bill. We have absolutely no idea how this happened, but rest assured as soon as it became known to us, we immediately attempted to contact the business in order to apologize, and we have repaid the bill from 2020, double,” Marshall’s post on X noted.

Thomas confirmed that the bill had been paid.
“But I can officially confirm that Roger Marshall has paid his bill! Better late than never, right? Six years later, I guess we can finally mark that invoice PAID!” she wrote in part of a Facebook post. “Thank you all for the overwhelming support! Now, back to doing what I do best!”
