Issue Positions

For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2022.

  • "I was honored to sign the discharge petition that will force a vote on the Born-Alive Act. I am a strong advocate for life and believe every life is precious. A child who survives an attempted abortion should be given equal life-saving care." #EndInfanticide (twitter.com)
  • Rated 100% by National Right to Life Committee (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "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." (twitter.com)
  • “Yesterday, an initial draft U.S. Supreme Court majority opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the public. If the Court does indeed overturn this ruling, the prayers of millions of people over the last 50 years will finally be answered, and I will join in the celebration of the greatest victory for the unborn in my lifetime." (mann.house.gov)
  • "I will vote to repeal Obamacare. Middle class tax increases, half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts and ever more penalties on small businesses are unacceptable. America cannot afford the cost of the Obama-Pelosi health care bill." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Our senior citizens spent their lifetimes working hard to make America the nation it is today. As your Congressman, I will keep our promise to our seniors. I will fight any effort to reduce Medicare or Social Security benefits. Our seniors were there for us. We should be there for them." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Union work should not be done on taxpayers' time, which is why I cosponsored the Do Your Job Act. Thank you @RepDanBishop for your leadership." (twitter.com)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and House Democrats are grossly misusing the noble process of reconciliation," said Rep. Mann. "Intended to be a tool of compromise for Congress to reduce the national deficit, the Democrat party is instead using it to jam through partisan legislation through a deadlock Congress. The Build Back Better plan will only add to an already enormous deficit, drive up inflation on the middle class, and shrink the privacy and rights of the American people." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "This morning, I voted against President Biden and House Democrats' appalling reconciliation bill. Supporters of the reckless spending bill tout that it will change the United States of America, and they're right. If passed in the U.S. Senate, it would allow the federal government to further encroach on our daily lives, fund abortions by excluding the long-time bipartisan Hyde Amendment, expand the already $30 trillion national debt, further drive-up inflation, tax working Americans, and do nothing to protect America from our biggest adversaries." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "We must do everything possible to help our rural communities to not just survive but thrive and access to broadband throughout the district is critical." (www.traceymann.com)
  • "Tonight, the Senate will vote on the Democrat $1.9 trillion dollar “COVID relief” bill. If passed, it will be the largest spending bill in the history of our country. 91% of the funds go to non-COVID items. This is not COVID relief for Americans, this is a Democrat wish list." (twitter.com)
  • "Today, I voted 'NO' on the so-called Inflation "Reduction" Act. Due to the highest level of inflation in over 40 years, Americans are struggling to pay for everyday items such as gas and groceries in the same week. On top of these price hikes, the supply chain remains broken, and the economy is shrinking. 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." (mann.house.gov)
  • Voted no on H.R. 5376 Inflation Reduction Act (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Mann says the Biden Administration’s plan to cancel student loans is a full-on campaign utilizing taxpayer dollars, noting that it is ill-timed, short-sighted, and irresponsible." (hutchpost.com)
  • "U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) released the following statement in response to President Biden announcing his student loan forgiveness program: "The Biden Administration's plan to cancel student loans is a full-on campaign utilizing taxpayer dollars. It is ill-timed, short-sighted, and irresponsible." - (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Despite exhaustive research, Vote Smart was unable to find information about this candidate's position.
  • "I support an “all of the above” energy strategy that prioritizes American energy independence and embraces fossil fuels and renewable energy. We need commonsense, reliable energy sources, and biofuels play an important part in our American energy independence." (mann.house.gov)
  • WIBW: “The SEC was established to oversee capital markets and protect investors, not to scrutinize the day-to-day activities of farmers and ranchers in the name of climate protection,” said Rep. Mann. “This proposed rule goes way beyond the SEC’s statutory authority, buries producers in even more onerous regulations, and infringes upon the privacy of the men and women who feed, fuel, and clothe the world. Farmers and ranchers are the original conservationists. They shouldn’t be subject to overreaching climate regulations from the SEC.” (www.wibw.com)
  • "I am a proud NRA member and will stand up against efforts to diminish or weaken the rights of law-abiding Americans to own, carry and use firearms." (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • Rated 92% by National Rifle Association (NRA) (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "As the Democrats vote to punish law-abiding gun owners, I introduced H.R.1758 - Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act with my colleagues. Americans should not have their 2nd Amendment rights eroded." (twitter.com)

  • "Finish the wall and deploy surveillance technology. I have cosponsored several pieces of legislation that increases border wall funding, improves technology at the border, and would designate Mexican Cartels as terrorist organizations. Reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy, requiring asylum seekers arriving at the southern border to return to Mexico to await their hearing in U.S. immigration court. Send a clear message: “Don’t come to the U.S. illegally.” We must work to fix our broken immigration system and ensure we have a fair, and safe, process that allows immigration to our country legally." (mann.house.gov)
  • Hays Post "He said gaps in key areas along the border where the wall has been started need to be finished." (hayspost.com)
  • "We must secure our southern border by constructing a wall. This is a national security issue, a human trafficking issue, a drug trafficking issue and just makes common sense." (www.traceymann.com)
  • "Brandon and all border patrol agents know firsthand the detrimental results of Pres. Biden's open-door policies. It's time to secure our border, back border law enforcement, and legislate policies that support legal immigration." (twitter.com)
  • "1.7 million illegal immigrants detained at the border in FY21 - the highest levels in 35 years. Pres. Biden's open-door policies have put our border security in shambles. #BidensBorderCrisis" (twitter.com)
  • "Brandon and all border patrol agents know firsthand the detrimental results of Pres. Biden's open-door policies. It's time to secure our border, back border law enforcement, and legislate policies that support legal immigration." (twitter.com)
  • "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." (mann.house.gov)
  • Kansas Reflector: "That includes a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine, which Congress passed in May by a 368-57 vote. LaTurner was the lone Republican in the Kansas delegation to vote in favor of the package. Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids also supported the package, while Republican Reps. Ron Estes and Tracey Mann voted against it." (kansasreflector.com)
  • Voted no on H.R. 6833 Continuing Appropriations and Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023 (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Kansans are feeling the pain of historical inflation numbers as our country's economy faces these uncertain times. We need to get the country back on track and allow the economy to thrive. Less regulation, a strong environment for market competition, and giving Americans buying power allow our country to be strong. Washington, D.C.’s typical solution of raising taxes and spending more taxpayer dollars is not a long-term solution. I have voted against multiple bills that will only add fuel to the inflation fire, like President Biden's erroneous Build Back Better plan - or as I call it, the Build Back Broke plan. In order to get the country back on track and allow the American economy to thrive again, leaders in Washington D.C. need to stop recklessly spending taxpayer dollars, pass a strong budget that doesn't add to our already trillion-dollar national debt, and let businesses compete in a free market without federal overreach."
