Representative Mann Named Friend of Farm Bureau

US Representative Tracey Mann of Kansas was named a Friend of Farm Bureau for the 118th Congress by the American Farm Bureau Federation.

The American Farm Bureau Federation awards the Friend of Farm Bureau award to members of Congress who have supported Farm Bureau's position on policy issues, as demonstrated by their voting records, and who were nominated by their respective state Farm Bureaus and approved by the AFBF Board of Directors.

"Agriculture is the heartbeat of the Big First District, and my top priority in Congress is supporting those who work tirelessly to feed, fuel and clothe the world," said Representative Mann. "It is the honor a lifetime to represent Kansas farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers on the House Agriculture Committee and in Congress. I am humbled to be recognized by the American Farm Bureau Federation and Kansas Farm Bureau as a Friend of Farm Bureau for the 118th Congress. I will continue to advocate for policies that benefit Kansas agriculture and America's farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers."

Since being sworn into Congress in 2021, Representative Mann has been a fierce advocate for Kansas agriculture. Last week, Representative Mann blasted the Biden-Harris administration's efforts to eliminate stepped-up basis and impose massive marked-to-market capital gains tax hikes on family-owned businesses and farms.

Representative Mann has continued to push for a fiscally conservative, five-year Farm Bill that supports farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers. In May 2024, Representative Mann voted to advance the Farm, Food and National Security Act out of the House Agriculture Committee.

Representative Mann has served on the House Agriculture Committee since being sworn into office and currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry. He also serves as co-chair of the Congressional Crop Insurance Caucus and the Congressional Hunger Caucus and is a co-founder of the Congressional FFA Caucus.
