Biographical Info:

I am David Marshall, a citizen of Snowflake, Arizona for over 23 years. I was born in Bethesda, MD and moved to California at a young age where my father served in the United States Marine Corps. Thus, I was raised in California and graduated from High School in Santa Ana. Soon after, I joined the United States Air Force. After my service, I was honorably discharged and relocated to Santa Ana where I joined the Santa Ana Police Department and served in Narcotics and Gang Suppression Details as well as the city’s Graffiti Task Force. While serving in the Santa Ana Police Department, I rose to the rank of Corporal and became a Field Training Officer. I retired from the Santa Ana Police Department in 1996.

Alongside my family, I moved to Snowflake, Arizona in 1999 and purchased a property where we ran a safe house for battered women. We ran this Christ-centered ministry for 7 years. In 2005, I was ordained as a pastor of Calvary Chapel Snowflake, a position I proudly fulfill today.

In 2021, I decided to run for State House to represent my home of over two decades. I am beyond blessed and grateful to have received your votes in August and November of 2022 to serve in the 56th Legislative Session.

Statement:

This will be my second term if elected again. Therefore, I’m running to continue the work that we as a caucus were unable to finish. To protect the life of the un-born, School Choice, and Parental Rights. I am a profound advocate for backing the blue, and all first responders as well as protecting our religious liberties. There is still more work to be done to secure our elections and border. I would like to work on a ‘Clean Forest Initiative,’ to help in reducing our forest fires. There is much more that needs to be addressed in this upcoming legislative session.
