editOn September 14, 2021, Marsh, an ophthalmologist and the Brookfield health officer, switched parties from Republican to Democratic because his Republican colleagues had organized a rally against the Biden administration's new vaccine mandates (see COVID-19 vaccination in the United States § September 2021).[4][8]
