Evidence

Mann's campaign agriculture page said agriculture runs in his blood and that he would seek to be a voice for farmers and ranchers in Washington, including seeking a House Agriculture Committee seat.

Establishes the relevant campaign context: Mann campaigned on acting for Kansas agriculture in Congress, though this page does not itself contain the CDL-specific wording in the payload.

49 CFR 383.3 includes a restricted CDL for certain drivers in farm-related service industries, including agri-chemical businesses, custom harvesters, farm retail outlets and suppliers, and livestock feeders. It limits validity to state-defined seasonal periods totaling no more than 210 days in a calendar year, and cites Pub. L. 117-58 among the authorities for Part 383.

The relevant federal CDL rules for seasonal farm-related service industries were modernized in law/regulation during Mann's House service, but this does not show Mann supported the legislation.

The House Clerk records Roll Call 369 on H.R. 3684, the INVEST in America Act, as passed 228-206 on November 5, 2021. The individual vote list shows Mann, Republican, Kansas, voted Nay.

The infrastructure bill that became Pub. L. 117-58, cited in the CDL regulation authority, passed despite Mann voting against it. This weighs against the promise to support legislation modernizing seasonal agriculture CDL rules.

Congress.gov describes H.R.1603 as the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021, containing provisions related to alien farmworkers and changing the H-2A temporary worker program. The bill passed the House on March 18, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 22, 2021.

A major farmworker modernization bill advanced during Mann's first term, but it was not enacted and is broader than CDL rules.

The relevant CDL modernization appears to have been enacted during Mann's House service through legislation tied to Pub. L. 117-58, but Mann voted against H.R. 3684, the bill that became that law. The other related farmworker modernization bill cited was not enacted, and Mann also voted against it and did not cosponsor it. Because the promise was to support legislation, the available record shows the outcome occurred despite Mann rather than through his support.
