Issue Positions

  • "I was heartened to hear the U.S. Supreme Court will review Mississippi’s pro-life law limiting abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. This is an opportunity for our government to uphold the rights of all citizens as well as the right of states to protect unborn children." (x.com)
  • "It is with great sadness today that we reflect on the 48th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. Every unborn child has a right to life. As a father, a proud member of the Pro-Life Caucus and Values Action Team, I will continue to be a champion of the unborn. #KS01 #ProLife" (x.com)
  • Rated 100% by the National Right to Life Committee (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Voted for H.R. 26 "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Voted in favor of H.R. 26 "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "All Kansans should have access to affordable, quality, and accessible health care. I believe that health care should not be a one-size-fits-all policy, and I am committed to ensuring flexibility in the health care system so that Kansans can receive the care that they deserve." (mann.house.gov)
  • "Critical access hospitals and 340-B programs are essential safety nets that provide health care options for rural communities while keeping costs down. I recognize that the high cost of prescription drugs is putting a strain on many Kansans' wallets, which is why I favor supporting programs such as 340-B. Additionally, I will continue to advocate for increased use of telehealth services, so that our rural communities have access to high-quality health care." (mann.house.gov)
  • "In Congress, I vow to work for the people of #KS01 and represent their interests. I will not support or vote for expensive and oppressive policies like the ACA #ACA10 #ksleg" (x.com)
  • Rated 10% by the Alliance For Retired Americans (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "America will be stronger if we foster an environment of less regulation, healthy market competition, and robust buying power for the American consumer. Washington, D.C.’s typical solution of raising taxes and spending more taxpayer dollars is not a long-term fix." (mann.house.gov)
  • "In the midst of an economic crisis, we need real leadership from Congress, which means careful stewardship of tax dollars and workable solutions to the problems plaguing our country. Instead, Washington Democrats and the Biden Administration have rammed through legislation to raise taxes and burn through $770 billion. Make no mistake: this bill is nothing short of a partisan wish list, chock full of reckless provisions that will increase audits on small businesses and middle-class families, expand the ridiculous war on fossil fuels and fund Green New Deal priorities, and add more fuel to the inflation fire."

(mann.house.gov)
  • "We must reject that nonsense and support the brave men and women who serve on the front line by collecting accurate data to address the rise in anti-police attacks, empower law enforcement to detain any illegal immigrant charged with or convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer, and ensuring our officers have access to a variety of mental health services as they bear the weight of protecting their neighbors. This body will have the opportunity to offer that support this week by voting yes on bills that that do just that. Americans deserve to live in an environment that is safe and secure. It is not lost on me that our law enforcement plays the most significant role in securing and defending that safety. We are grateful." (mann.house.gov)
  • Rated 100% by National Assocation of Police Organizations (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • ""During this year’s National Police Week, my House Republican colleagues and I are sending a clear message: we support law enforcement; we oppose any efforts to defund them; and we believe that they should be equipped with resources to do their jobs well,"" (mann.house.gov)
  • ""There’s been legislation that would defund the police and do away with qualified immunity; that passed the House. I oppose all of these things," he said. "There has been a bill that would decrease our Second Amendment rights" (mann.house.gov)

  • Rated 93% by the Council For Citizens Against Government Waste (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Voted against H.R. 4521 "America COMPETES Act of 2022" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Inflation is a tax on all Americans," said Rep. Mann. "For two years, the Biden Administration enjoyed almost no oversight from the Democrat-controlled House and Senate as it burned through taxpayer dollars with sweeping executive orders. The REIN IN Inflation Act, however, will force the Administration to publish the inflationary impact of its executive orders before enacting them. From canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline to pushing socialist "Green New Deal" regulations on small businesses, President Biden must be held accountable for the harmful impact of his failed agenda, which continues to drive up the prices of goods, gas, and groceries." (mann.house.gov)
  • "For months, the Biden Administration wasted time on their student debt ploy all while inflation, interest rates, & housing costs reached record highs. We need to rein in President Biden’s reckless spending & get the economy back on track." (x.com)
  • Rated 0% by the National Education Association (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "President Biden’s approval rating with young Americans is at 36%, and his efforts to cancel mass student debt is nothing more than a political ploy," said Rep. Mann. "We need a well-developed and long-term solution that will address the high cost of education in America. With our national debt eclipsing $32 trillion just a few days ago, and President Biden deficit-spending about $1 trillion every year, now is not the time to erase debt that student borrowers knowingly took on. Student loan debt cancellation punishes taxpayers who either didn’t go to college or who found ways to pay for their education rather than taking on debt. President Biden’s veto, and his refusal to listen to elected representatives in Congress, shows just how far his Administration is willing to go in using hard-earned taxpayer dollars for political gain." (mann.house.gov)
  • Voted against H.R. 2547 "Comprehensive Debt Collection Improvement Act" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "For these reasons earlier this month I joined 25 other incoming House Freshmen in calling on Speaker Pelosi to investigate the 2020 Presidential Election for possible election fraud. I will also vote no on January 6th to certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential Election." (x.com)

  • Voted for HR 2 - "Secure the Border Act of 2023" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Since day one of his Presidency, President Biden has been laser focused on rolling back President Trump's policies that were effective in lowering illegal immigration. As a result, we have had nearly 12 million illegal encounters at our border since January of 2021, with this past April being the 38th straight month that encounters at the border have been higher than even the highest month under President Trump. For 3 years, House Republicans have passed good legislation that would actually secure the southern border and have urged President Biden to work with us on the border crisis, and we have been met with silence. President Biden needs to wake up." (justfacts.votesmart.org)

  • Rated 92% by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "The massive influx of illegal crossings is being caused by President Biden’s promise of citizenship – no pathway, just outright citizenship – to more than 11 million illegal immigrants. The President placed a moratorium on deportations, rescinded legal immigration processes, and halted border wall construction. These policies have caused a massive surge of migrants crossing the border, overwhelmed U.S Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents, caused facilities along the border to be overrun, and put the lives of border town residents at risk."

  • ""President Biden has already put American lives at risk and abandoned hundreds of our citizens in Afghanistan," said Rep. Mann. "Our top priority must be to bring home American citizens still stranded in Afghanistan and protect our national security. Lifting sanctions on the Taliban would pose a greater threat to the safety of Americans and allies still in Afghanistan and risk terrorist threats on American soil." (mann.house.gov)
  • "On October 7, America stood with Israel as Hamas killed innocent individuals and families, creating the bloodiest day for the Jewish people since World War II. Today, Israel is under attack again, this time from Iran. America stands with our ally Israel as it defends itself against missiles, drones, and terrorism." <iframe src=" width="500" height="250" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe> (www.facebook.com)

  • ""It is in America’s interest for Ukrainian forces to defeat Russia, but it is irresponsible and unsustainable to continue funding a war in Ukraine without any oversight as to how Americans’ tax dollars are spent. I could not in good conscience vote to send $60.84 billion more to Ukraine without proper checks in place for the $75 billion that America has already sent. We do not allow our own federal agencies to spend our tax dollars that way, and we should not allow foreign governments to either. It should not be controversial." (mann.house.gov)
