Tracey Mann was elected to the 117th Congress of the U.S. House of Representatives and serves the “Big First” District of Kansas. Congressman Mann is a tireless advocate for Kansas agriculture and conservative Kansas values.
Congressman Mann is a fifth generation Kansan, who was born and raised on his family farm just south of Quinter. He is also the fifth generation to live in the family farmhouse that his great-great-grandfather ordered from Montgomery Ward catalogue in the early 1900’s. Growing up in production agriculture Congressman Mann learned the value of hard work at a young age as he spent thousands of hours in the fields and on the family feed yard. Some of his fondest memories of those days were working cattle with his with his grandfather, father, and brother on Saturday afternoons while listening to K-State football on the radio.
I was selected to serve on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, which should be called the Heroes Committee. I have always been a strong supporter of those who have served and I want to ensure they receive the benefits they deserve.
On the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, I serve as the Ranking Member on the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee and sit on the Economic Opportunity Subcommittee.
My top priority is ensuring the men and women who served our country are protected and receive the benefits and care they deserve. I understand the importance of working alongside my collages to achieve and create the legislation needed that will enhance the well-being of those that have served.
In the first few months of being in office, I introduced the Affordable Housing for Homeless Veterans Act of 2021, the VA Equal Employment Opportunity Counselor Modernization Act, and The VA Supply Chain Resiliency Act, and co-sponsored numerous bills to help improve the lives of veterans. There is a strong military and veteran presence in the Big First and I am committed to fighting for policies that ensure veterans can support themselves and their families in Kansas. I look forward to continuing my work to help enhance and bring benefits to our nation’s heroes.
