Kansas Bakery Owner Opposes Roger Marshall Over Unpaid Campaign Invoice

Holly Thomas, owner of Holly's Sweet Treats in Hutchinson, Kansas, announced her opposition to Roger Marshall's re-election bid for Senate. Thomas stated that Marshall's campaign allegedly never paid $678.75 for 150 custom sugar cookies, 100 cupcakes, and 100 brownies ordered six years prior for a primary election watch party. Thomas reported that she made repeated attempts to collect the payment over nearly a year.

The dispute centers on a small business's unpaid invoice to a political campaign. Thomas noted that the lack of payment was particularly difficult for her business when she was just starting out and during the COVID period, when small businesses were struggling to maintain operations.
