Bob Marshall's Profile
Born in Colorado, Bob joined the Marine Corps after Georgetown University (BSFS). After serving six years, the Marines selected Bob to attend Cornell Law School where he earned a JD & LLM in International Law. He then served as a Defense Counsel and Station Judge Advocate before leaving active duty to clerk for the Honorable Judge Siler on the U.S. Court of Appeals. After returning to Colorado, Bob frequently mobilized for duty during “The Global War on Terror” for such service as a Police Transition Team Leader in Iraq and as the Governance OIC in Helmand Province Afghanistan. While assigned to Wounded Warrior Battalion, he earned a LLM in Tax Law and subsequently began working for the IRS in the Large Business & International Litigation division.
A Republican for 30 years, Bob became a “never Trumper” when Mr. Trump attacked Captain Khan's mother during the 2016 convention. In December 2017, he left the GOP when it continued supporting Roy Moore for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. Bob joined the Democratic Party in December 2021; was elected “Democrat of the Year” in June 2022; and in November 2022 won election to the Colorado State House from Highlands Ranch, becoming the first Democrat elected to a partisan office from Douglas County in more than a half century.
