Get StartedMarshall strongly supports a women’s right to choose and will defend that right enthusiastically. We must immediately begin work to repeal the 1931 state abortion ban. While Roe v. Wade prevents this law from impacting Michiganders today, we must take steps to protect this right for future women. Learn more
Marshall also supports removing barriers to access, such as state required anti-abortion counseling and 24-hour mandatory waiting period. Learn more

We must repeal the Truth in Sentencing laws passed in Michigan in 1998. There is no evidence that these policies have reduced crime or increased public safety since being implemented. Our criminal justice system should focus on rehabilitation. Marshall will fight to repeal the Truth in Sentencing laws and to support policies that emphasize participation in mental health, drug rehabilitation, and educational/vocational programs. Learn more
The unequal treatment of black and brown populations at the hands of law enforcement agencies must end! In order to increase accountability, Marshall is strongly in favor of legislation that would require local and state level law enforcement agencies to release all bodycam footage, entirely un-edited, within 21-days of any misconduct complaints.

Equitable and responsive funding for our schools is a top priority. Marshall will insist on equitable, per-pupil funding for our school districts. Your zip code should not determine the quality of your education. We must also end the practice of tying school funding to test results.

We must trust our teachers; they are experts! When pursuing any policy related to education, Michigan's teachers and their students must come first. Marshall will strongly support teacher-led reform that centers around the educational outcomes of students and the wellbeing of their teachers. Learn more
Marshall is a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment, but our current system does not work. Current laws allow for private sellers to avoid the background check requirements under certain circumstances. Marshall proposes that we work quickly to close these loopholes and ensure that only law abiding citizens are able to purchase firearms. Learn more
Handgun waiting periods save lives. By delaying firearm purchases, even only by a short time, we can provide a ‘cooling off’ period for the visceral emotions, anger or suicidal impulses, that can lead to violent and tragic outcomes. Marshall supports mandatory waiting periods for handguns. Learn more
The vast majority of gun owners are safe and responsible but we must protect each other from those who are not. Marshall supports passing policies that would prevent individuals that pose a threat to themselves or their community from accessing a firearm. The Extreme Risk Protection Order would take place when it becomes apparent to friends, family, and law enforcement that an individual is a potential threat. Additionally, Marshall supports barring convicted domestic abusers from owning firearms. Learn more

Repealing the 2012 so-called “Right-to-Work” law is a top priority for Marshall. This law allows for individuals to benefit from unions without paying their fair share. Marshall is an enthusiastic supporter of unions and believes that strengthening unions will promote economic equity. Learn more
Fight for $20 Corporations continue to announce record-breaking profits amid the highest inflation we’ve seen since the 1980s. It is past due that we demand workers be fairly compensated with a livable wage for their work. Today's livable wage must continue to be livable in the future. Marshall will fight for a $20 statewide minimum wage and to tie future wage increases to inflation to do this. Learn more
