Rep. Mann Votes to Support Kansas Farmers, Give Americans Choice at the Pump
Passing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is a win for the American farmer, rancher, and consumer... This legislation follows years of bipartisan work and listening sessions around the country, hearing from producers like those in the Big First about the challenges they face every day.
supporting American agriculture and the rural communities that power it
I was proud to lead efforts in Congress to move the program and I applaud the Trump Administration for supporting these efforts. I will continue to fight for Food for Peace to be permanently placed under USDA so that America can continue to be the beacon of hope and freedom we are to the rest of the world.
With reauthorizations like Surface Transportation, Water Resources Development, and a five-year Farm Bill on the legislative agenda this Congress, having a voice on the House Agriculture and the House Transportation and Infrastructure committees gives Kansans a direct seat at the table to advocate for sound policy that promote and maintain our way of life. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve another term on these committees and look forward to fighting for reasonable policy solutions that are so vital to Kansas’ economic activity and our livelihoods in rural America.
I am committed to working with my colleagues on legislation that both puts the needs of the First District at the forefront of policy and honors those who feed, fuel, and clothe the world.
Evidence
The campaign site says, under "Fight for Agriculture," that Mann would seek to be a voice for farmers and ranchers in Washington.
The House Agriculture Committee lists Tracey Mann as Chairman of the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over livestock, poultry, dairy, grazing, and related issues.
Mann's official office page says he serves on the House Agriculture Committee and chairs the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry, while also serving on agriculture-related subcommittees and caucuses.
In a House Agriculture Committee hearing on March 4, 2025, Mann said he chairs the livestock subcommittee, represents the Big First where producers sell $10 billion worth of livestock, dairy, poultry, beef, milk, and eggs each year, and discussed a farm bill that would protect crop insurance, promote trade programs, invest in agricultural research, and promote animal health.
The campaign site's agriculture plank said agriculture runs in Mann's blood and that he would seek to be a voice for farmers and ranchers in Washington.
The House Agriculture Committee announced 118th Congress rosters listing Rep. Tracey Mann as Chairman of the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Subcommittee, and also as a member of the Nutrition, Foreign Agriculture, and Horticulture and Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development subcommittees.
The House Agriculture Committee lists Tracey Mann as Chairman for KS-01 on the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Subcommittee. The page states the subcommittee handles livestock, poultry, dairy, seafood, marketing, inspection, grazing, animal welfare, and related oversight.
The official hearing record identifies Tracey Mann as Chairman of the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Subcommittee and states that he presided over the April 18, 2023 hearing. In his opening statement, Mann connected Kansas livestock production, animal disease prevention, and the next farm bill.
The committee posted Mann's opening remarks for a livestock subcommittee hearing, where he said the next farm bill needed to address animal-health risks and strengthen U.S. animal agriculture's competitiveness while providing safe, affordable food.
After the Supreme Court upheld California Proposition 12, the committee release identified Mann as livestock subcommittee chairman and quoted him warning that the ruling threatened American hog farmers and could create regulatory overreach against producers.
At a 2025 livestock industry hearing, Mann was identified as Subcommittee Chairman and discussed representing Kansas's Big First, a district with major livestock, dairy, poultry, beef, milk, and egg production. He also cited farm bill priorities including crop insurance, trade programs, animal health, and agricultural research.
The House Agriculture Committee hearing page shows the April 18, 2023 hearing was held by the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry, included USDA testimony, linked Mann's opening statement, and linked the official GovInfo transcript.
The committee's farm bill page says the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 aims to give producers better tools, expand rural investments, improve risk management, prioritize American commodities, expand producer credit access, promote precision agriculture, and enhance conservation for working lands.

Assessments
The promise was broad and process-oriented: to seek to be a voice for farmers and ranchers in Washington. During his federal House service after the campaign, Mann held formal Agriculture Committee roles, chaired the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Subcommittee, presided over hearings on livestock and animal health issues, publicly advocated for producers on matters such as Prop 12, and participated in farm bill work that advanced producer-focused policy through House passage. Those actions are directly within the promised federal office context and occurred while he remained in office, so the promise is best treated as fulfilled in the same term rather than merely attempted.
The promise was to seek to be a voice for farmers and ranchers in Washington, not to achieve a single concrete policy result. The evidence shows Mann served on the House Agriculture Committee, chaired the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Subcommittee, and publicly advocated for producer priorities such as crop insurance, trade programs, research, and animal health while in office. Those roles and actions are direct, sustained representation of farmers and ranchers within his congressional term, so the promise is best judged as delivered in the same term.
The promise was broad and effort-oriented: Mann said he would seek to be a voice for farmers and ranchers in Washington. The provided evidence shows he served on the House Agriculture Committee, chaired the Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Subcommittee, participated in agriculture-related caucuses and subcommittees, and used a 2025 committee hearing to advocate for livestock producers, crop insurance, trade programs, agricultural research, and animal health. These actions directly match the promised role and occurred while serving in Congress, so the promise is best rated delivered in the same term. The effort badge is appropriate because the evidence reflects sustained official advocacy and committee leadership.
