Tracey Robert Mann (born December 17, 1976) is an American businessman and politician who has served as the U.S. representative from Kansas's 1st congressional district since 2021. The district, popularly known as "the Big First," includes parts of 63 counties in central and western Kansas and is the seventh-largest district in the nation that does not cover an entire state.
Mann served as the 50th lieutenant governor of Kansas from 2018 to 2019. He was appointed by Governor Jeff Colyer in February 2018, after Colyer ascended from the lieutenant governorship upon Sam Brownback's resignation.
Early life and education
Mann was born and raised on his family farm south of Quinter, Kansas. Mann attended Quinter High School. In his senior year, Mann was elected to serve as FFA president and student council president. During his college years, Mann worked as an intern for then-U.S. Representative Jerry Moran. He also served as the student body president of Kansas State University.

U.S. House of Representatives
Elections
2010
Main article: 2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Kansas#District 1
Mann ran for Kansas's 1st congressional district in the 2010 elections to the United States House of Representatives, losing to Tim Huelskamp in the Republican primary.
During his 2010 campaign, Mann repeatedly insisted President Barack Obama needed to produce his birth certificate to prove that he was an American citizen. The Hutchinson News withdrew its endorsement of Mann, stating, "he questions the citizenship of President Barack Obama despite evidence that is irrefutable to most objective, rational people - including a birth certificate released by the Hawaii secretary of state and birth announcements printed in Honolulu's two major newspapers." On June 21, 2010, Mann said on a Salina radio program that he thought Obama "needs to come forth with his papers and show everyone that he is an American citizen." He made similar comments that day at a forum at Elkhart, Kansas. Though Mann formerly expressed support for birtherism, he has since renounced those beliefs.
2020
Main article: 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Kansas#District 1
Mann made another bid for the 1st in 2020 after two-term incumbent Roger Marshall gave up the seat to run for U.S. Senate. On August 4, 2020, Mann defeated Air Force veteran Bill Clifford in the Republican primary–the real contest in this heavily Republican district–and Democrat Kali Barnett in the general election, with 71% of the vote.
Tenure
Domestic policy
Mann voted to overturn the results of the 2020 United States Presidential election.
Mann voted against the Equality Act in 2021 and against the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022.
Along with all Kansas congressmembers, Mann voted for the Laken Riley Act.
In 2025, the Trump administration moved to delist the lesser prairie chicken from the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Mann had previously led efforts to delist the chicken, but then-President Joe Biden vetoed the legislation.
Economy
In May 2025, Mann told KSNT, "I strongly believe we must strengthen Medicaid to protect benefits for the thousands of vulnerable Kansans who rely on it." He voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on May 22, 2025.
Foreign policy
During the Gaza War, Mann voted to send $26 billion to Israel to support "its effort to defend itself against Iran and its proxies, and to reimburse US military operations in response to recent attacks."
Mann voted against additional aid to Ukraine in 2024.
