Later that day, Mann addressed public health concerns by announcing his vote for the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act. He noted in a post, "Too many families in the Big First and across the country have been affected by addiction, mental health struggles, and the fentanyl crisis.

In another engagement on June 5th, Mann discussed housing issues with local realtors. He tweeted about this conversation with the Kansas Association of Realtors: "Housing shortages are a real issue facing rural communities like those in the Big First District."
