FOUNDED AND LED WASHINGTON THREE PERCENTERS (2018-2020+)
Key Facts: - Founded and registered Washington Three Percent as nonprofit corporation in 2018 - Served as President/State Leader of organization - Organization is part of larger Three Percenter movement - Anti-Defamation League classifies Three Percenters as “right-wing anti-government militia movement” - Southern Poverty Law Center describes Three Percenter ideology as “falls within the larger anti-government militia movement”
Canadian Government Designation: - In 2021, Canadian government officially listed U.S. Three Percenters as terrorist entity
Claimed Resignation vs. Financial Disclosures: - Marshall claims he resigned from leadership in 2020 - HOWEVER: Washington State Democrats documented that Marshall continued to report serving as “Public Affairs Officer” with Three Percent of Washington on his F-1 financial affairs disclosures through 2023 - This contradicts his public statements about leaving the organization
Organization Activities Under Marshall’s Leadership: - Weapons training sessions - “United Against Hate” rallies (Seattle, 2020) - Highway adoption programs (3 stretches of highway) - Food drives and veteran support services - Anti-lockdown rallies during COVID-19 pandemic - Positioned as “community organization” and “emergency preparedness” group
Marshall’s Own Description: - “We’re absolutely not a paramilitary. We’re a nonprofit corporation.” - “The true neo-Nazis hate us, which they should because we hate them, too.” - Rejected “militia” label despite weapons training and stated readiness to fight “tyrannical government”
National Three Percenters Context: - Multiple members indicted for January 6 Capitol attack - Members arrested for bombing mosque in Minnesota - Members arrested for plot to kidnap Michigan governor - Members marched alongside white nationalists at Charlottesville Unite the Right rally - Marshall’s group claims they warned members NOT to attend Jan 6 and were not present
Controversial Alliances: - Brief collaboration with John Brown Gun Club (far-left armed group) - ended 2019 - Internal conflicts over Q-Anon content (some members promoted, others opposed) - Efforts to distance from racist/white nationalist groups - Positioned as attempting to “mainstream” militia image
Strong Public Defense of Disgraced Rep. Matt Shea: - Legislative investigation found Matt Shea engaged in “domestic terrorism” - Shea participated in 3 armed standoffs with government - Shea authored “Biblical Basis for War” document suggesting killing those who disobey biblical law - Shea removed from Republican caucus by his own party
Marshall’s Position: - Publicly defended Shea repeatedly - Called investigation “sensationalized” and “a leaked thing used in a political way” - Stated: “While you read Scripture, it can sound very, very violent. It doesn’t mean he’s saying, ‘We need to go do these things.’” - Maintained friendship and support even after Shea became “pariah at the Statehouse”
Political Impact: - J.T. Wilcox (incumbent Marshall challenged in 2020) pushed Shea to resign - Marshall criticized Wilcox’s treatment of Shea: “The way Shea was attacked by his own caucus was wrong” - Marshall ran against Wilcox in 2020 partly over this issue - Continued defending Shea as recently as 2024 campaign

On Education: “I am passionate about Education. We need to find a way to better fund our schools. Our local communities should be afforded the ability to determine what is important, rather than a state office mandating policy or curriculum.”
On Constitution: “I am a staunch supporter of the Constitution. We all have God-given rights that our government cannot take from us. I always use the Constitution as my guide when discussing policy.”
On Political Class: “Self-serving politicians disgust me. I remember the promises made by our elected leaders and plan to hold them accountable for their promises.”
Legislative Hero: Models himself after Rep. Jim Walsh: “He is a natural leader who truly represents and is not afraid to stand on principle even if that means he is standing by himself.”
On Three Percenters: “They can try to marginalize us as extremists all they want, but we’re much more mainstream than they realize.”
David Neiwert (Seattle-based researcher tracking far-right groups in Pacific Northwest): “They never miss a trick. They’re always finding new venues and always finding new ways to present themselves.”
Washington State Democrats Statement (January 13, 2025): “Representative Matt Marshall from the 2nd Legislative District is an Ultra-MAGA White Christian Nationalist who founded the Washington Three Percenters, which hate-watch organizations like the Anti-Defamation League describe as part of the right-wing anti-government militia movement.”

2023 Twitter/X Account Incident:
Initial Problem: - Twitter account in McEntire’s name posted inflammatory comments to other users - Terms used: “straight up loser,” “dim wit dem,” “utterly pathetic” - Multiple demeaning posts targeting political opponents and critics

Today, Seattle repays us by blocking good family wage jobs, mismanaging our timber lands and even allowing an invasive species to destroy our oyster beds.”
