Rep. Tracey Mann's Response to President Biden's State of the Union

Washington, D.C. - Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) released the following response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address:

"Kansans and Americans across the nation tuned in last night in the hope of hearing our Commander in Chief address the crippling crises facing our country and tell us how he plans to fix them. Instead, they heard a self-serving monologue full of half-truths and empty promises," said Rep. Mann. "He even failed to discuss China taking advantage of our country and U.S. agricultural producers. This Administration has failed on the world stage, creating one foreign policy disaster after another, and the repercussions are posing threats to America's food supply, energy security, and freedom. 

We need to secure our southern border, cut government spending to fix inflation, and reinstate American energy and food independence by supporting our producers here at home. 

It's time to put America's best interests first."

Last month, Representative Mann, alongside Representative August Pfluger (TX-11), and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, led 57 of their Republican colleagues in sending a letter to President Biden to make the U.S.-China agricultural trade relationship more balanced and reciprocal. Representative Mann serves on the House Agriculture Committee and Subcommittees on Livestock and Foreign Agriculture, and General Farm Commodities and Risk Management.
