Early life

Marks was born in Clarksburg, West Virginia.[2]

Career

He appeared to lose a special 1993 election for the 2nd senatorial district for the Pennsylvania Senate, but federal judge Clarence Charles Newcomer declared him the winner of that election after finding that the campaign of William G. Stinson had engaged in election fraud.[3][4] The fraud centered around how absentee ballots were handled, according to Marks. [5] Marks was seated in the Senate on April 28, 1994.[6]
