Tracey Mann, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Kansas' 1st district, shared his views on agricultural and economic issues via social media. Serving in Congress since 2021, Mann has been active in discussions concerning agriculture and fiscal policy.

On May 21, 2025, Mann expressed his support for the decision by the USDA to halt imports of Mexican livestock. He noted that this measure was taken to protect American cattle from the New World Screwworm. As chairman of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry, Mann emphasized his involvement in this matter.

Later that day, Mann highlighted the importance of soil health in sustainable agriculture. He commended companies like MyLandAg for their innovative approaches that blend economic benefits with environmental stewardship.

In a subsequent post on the same day, Mann discussed the extension of tax cuts introduced by President Biden in 2017. He stated that these measures would prevent an average tax hike of 27% for Kansans in his district. Mann underscored the efforts by House Republicans to alleviate financial burdens on Americans while aiming to reduce federal spending.

Tracey Mann is currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Kansas’ 1st district since he replaced Roger Marshall in 2021. Born in Quinter, Kansas, he graduated from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Science degree and resides in Salina.
