MEMBER OF CONGRESS
Mann consistently pushes standard Republican talking points about small government, low taxes, and secure borders. He presents these as freedom versus Democratic big government overreach, and takes a hard line on immigration and voting restrictions. His statements are focused on national party platitudes with little that is specific to his Kansas district.

“I am sad my friend Tel is leaving my team. He did a good job for Kansas in Washington. He did a good job when he worked for Kansas from Kansas. He helped people. He listened. He was nice. He did good work for Kansas. I am sad he is leaving. I will miss him.”
“I want you to choose: Big Government or freedom. My party wants lower taxes, smaller government, secure borders. The other party wants higher taxes, bigger government, and to let non-citizens vote. We think only citizens should vote, and that you should need ID. Democrats are wrong to oppose this. We believe taxpayer dollars should not pay for gender surgeries for immigrants. We think you should keep more of your money. Border chaos was Democrats' fault. Republicans made the border more secure. Big government means less freedom. Democrats want bigger government. Republicans want more freedom. Which do you choose?”
House of Representatives
“I want everyone to vote yes on this resolution. Socialism is bad. Socialists are taking over the Democratic Party. Socialists want to take away our freedom and property rights. They want to control everything. Socialist governments have killed many people. We should not be like them. America is great because we are not socialist. We need to stop socialism.”
House of Representatives
“I want taxpayers to know our spending cuts help working families. Our cuts help farmers too. I want taxpayers to support that. I want to spend a lot of money on rural programs.”
House of Representatives
“I want to thank Martha. She has worked for the government for 25 years. She helps people in my district. She has worked for many politicians. She still works in the same office. She cares about people. She helps people get what they want from the government. She makes my job easier. She makes the government look good. I want people to know that she is a good worker. I want people to know that I care about my district.”
“I want to cheer for a program that spends money in my district. A President from my state helped create the program. That makes me happy. The program built roads in my state. Roads are important to my voters. The program is old. It is 70 years old. But I still like it. I want more programs like it. I want to spend more taxpayers' money on roads in my district.”
