Jim E. Marshall (born April 2, 1960) is a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 14th District since 2007 and is a member of the Republican Party.

Career

Marshall was employed at Ag Hog Pittsburgh prior to his election to the House. His only prior elected office had been serving two terms as Vice President of Big Beaver Borough Council in Beaver County.

In 2006, Marshall ran for the House of Representatives against House Minority Whip, Rep. Mike Veon. At the time, Veon was under a great deal of criticism for his role in the 2005 legislative pay raise. Veon not only supported the pay increase, but was the only legislator to vote against its repeal.cite news |author=David M.
