Great Bend physician Dr. Roger Marshall, a Republican, will be in Hays this week for a campaign kickoff event.

Marshall, an OB/GYN, has announced his intentions to be on the 2016 primary ballot against incumbent First District U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler. Huelskamp began his third term in the U.S. House this year after a runaway victory in the 2014 general election.

Marshall will appear at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Robbins Center on the Fort Hays State University campus.
