Every American should have access to quality, affordable health care regardless of their zip code. The 66 million Americans who call rural America home are no exception. Over the past two decades, there has been a growing health care crisis in rural America, and Washington, D.C. has been slow in adequately addressing the problem. Fortunately, that is now changing thanks to the leadership of President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.
Rep. Tracey Mann (R-Kan.) joins Meet the Press NOW to discuss President Trump’s $12 billion aid package for American farmers affected by his tariff policy.
TOPEKA — As a representative of 60 mostly rural Kansas counties, U.S. Rep. Tracey Mann said road safety is not an abstract policy concept.
“For me, it’s personal,” the Republican said in recorded remarks at a Wednesday news conference by Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.
Kansas families rely on safe road travel for essentials, including health care, employment, education and “everything in between,” Mann said.
As the federal government shutdown stretches into its third week, U.S. Rep. Tracey Mann (R-Kan.) said the impasse is reaching historic proportions with no clear compromise on the horizon.
“This is the third-longest shutdown ever — and the longest full shutdown,” he said Tuesday in an interview on KMAN’s Morning News this week. “Democrats need to end this political stunt and reopen the government.”
The recent opinion piece titled “Washington abandoned rural Kansas — and farmers are paying for it” raises important concerns, but it overlooks the Kansas delegation’s consistent leadership on issues that matter deeply to Kansas farmers, particularly advocacy for the Food for Peace program, formerly administered by USAID.
As the partial U.S. government shutdown enters its second week, finger-pointing in Washington, D.C. continues between Republicans and Democrats.
Congressman Tracey Mann (R-Kan.) criticized Democrats for prolonging the shutdown and said in an interview on News Radio KMAN Thursday morning that a handful of party members are standing in the way of restored operations and preventing federal workers and service members from receiving pay.
McPHERSON, Kan. — It’s been three weeks since the US House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to keep the federal government in operation. First District Congressman Tracey Mann told Ad Astra News in an interview Thursday it’s a matter of getting a few Democratic Senators to change their position.
The decision to shut down the federal government by Democratic Party leadership in Washington, D.C., is nothing more than political theater, and everyday Americans will be the ones who pay the price for it. On Sep. 19, every single House Republican voted to keep the government open by passing a clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution. Senate Republicans also voted to keep the government open, but the vast majority of Senate Democrats blocked this continuing resolution, forcing federal funding to lapse and the government to shut down.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (KAKE) - A U.S. representative from Kansas has introduced a bill that aims to expand shortages in rural childcare.
Over the past two weeks, thousands of Kansans have made the trek across our state to partake in the annual tradition of the Kansas State Fair.
My family and I had the privilege of attending, and there truly is nothing like it. Typically, Congress is not in session during the first week of the fair, and I can spend a full week with my fellow Kansans. While I'm saddened I couldn't stay longer this year, I wanted to recognize the significance of this tradition and the people who make the fair possible.
