Douglas P. Marsh

Green · U.S. Senate, MI

Marsh's campaign platform says "The continued supply of weapons and funding for proxy wars, apartheid, and genocide is unconscionable", and calls for U.S. leverage toward "permanent ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine".

Marsh is a freelance journalist and community activist, and the Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, having also been the party's nominee in 2024.

His campaign platform position, published under the heading Ceasefire and Diplomacy, reads in full: "The United States of America should use all its economic and diplomatic leverage to effect permanent ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine. The continued supply of weapons and funding for proxy wars, apartheid, and genocide is unconscionable." That is a position about what the United States supplies, and it is his own campaign's wording.

His journalism is the other part of the record. In Jacobin on July 9, 2026, under his own byline, he wrote that Israel deliberately killed journalists reporting on the invasion of Lebanon, and that the Union of Journalists in Lebanon is campaigning for justice "while the US works to shield Israel from accountability".

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel

"The United States of America should use all its economic and diplomatic leverage to effect permanent ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine. The continued supply of weapons and funding for proxy wars, apartheid, and genocide is unconscionable." That is the whole of it. It is now publishable, which reverses this package's earlier verdict: see the verification note.

Verification, 2026-08-12: the carrier was readable, and the platform text was not what was reported

This package previously recorded that his platform statements were "the strongest statements in his record and they cannot currently be published", because localcandidates.org "sits behind a Vercel security checkpoint and returns no content". H1's handoff had already listed that host among the ones "wrongly written off in this run", client-side rendered and readable in a browser. It is. Rendered on 2026-08-12 it returns 374 words.

What is on it is a real in-scope position, and it is shorter and differently worded than the gather reported. The gather described the platform as calling for "immediate termination of U.S. military assistance to Israel and an immediate arms embargo", rejecting any "false differentiation between 'offensive' and 'defensive' weapons", demanding "full enforcement of U.S. laws conditioning or restricting military aid", and referring to "illegal settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and the attempted annexation of Southern Lebanon". **None of that language is on the page.** Counted over the rendered text: "embargo" 0, "West Bank" 0, "Lebanon" 0, "annexation" 0, "offensive" 0, "defensive" 0. The words "genocide" and "apartheid" do appear, in the single sentence quoted above.

So two corrections land at once. The position is publishable, and it was being held back by a host verdict that was wrong. And the specific platform language that made it "the most specific in-scope statement in the whole tranche" is not on its only cited carrier.

The generated record, kept

Everything below was produced from the gathered file before this card was rewritten, and is kept unchanged so that what was searched, and what came back, stays on the record. Where it says nothing was found on this dimension, read it against the verified item above.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel

⚠ The only carriers the gather attached are localcandidates.org position pages, which sit behind a Vercel security checkpoint and return no content to a desktop-Chrome user agent. **These are the strongest statements in his record and they cannot currently be published.** Finding a fetchable carrier, his own campaign site or the Green Party of Michigan platform, would change his card substantially.
