Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., paid a six-year advertising bill after a bakery owner slammed him on social media for allegedly failing to pay for cookies and other treats ordered for a 2020 election watch party.

Holly Thomas, the bakery's founder, said in an Oct. 8 Facebook post that she would never vote for Marshall because his campaign had failed to pay the $678.75 bill despite his repeated efforts to raise money.

Thomas shared an image of the invoice and a photo that appeared to show custom cookies made for the Marshall 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 watch party. And I never got paid. For nearly a year, I made repeated attempts to get paid, by phone and email. I never got a phone call back, and Thomas wrote in a letter."

The dormant Senate race has emerged as an unexpected headache for Republicans ahead of the midterms

"Not only was I just starting out, but we were also in the middle of COVID, when small businesses everywhere were trying to just keep their doors open. Every dollar counted. These cookies and treats cost money, staff time to prepare and resources that my small business couldn't afford," she explained.

"Six years later, I haven't forgotten. This is not about political parties or political differences. This is about my personal experience as a small business owner and the importance of meeting financial obligations. This experience is why Roger Marshall will never get my vote."

Marshall — who was 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 entity.
