Email from Rep. Mann Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter. Message from Rep. Tracey Mann. Having Trouble Viewing? Click Here. Fellow Kansan, Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter. I am back in the Big First, traveling across Rice, Ellsworth, Lincoln, Ottawa, Dickinson, and Riley counties, meeting with Kansans from across the district. If you would like more information on what I am working on this week, be sure to follow me on social media. I do not serve in Congress to be a caretaker in the slow demise of America— I serve to fight and work to make it stronger. That’s what I am doing while believing our brightest days are yet to come. Yours in service, Click below to follow me on social media. Mann.House.Gov Securing our Border The most recent data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that America’s borders are the safest they’ve been in decades. President Trump is the border security president, and the numbers prove it: zero illegal migrant releases in June and the lowest number of daily apprehensions in agency history. President Trump and Congressional Republicans are delivering on the mandate 77 million Americans gave Washington, D.C., on November 5th —securing the border, enforcing the law, and restoring safety and order across the country. Promises made, promises kept. Examining the Harmful Impact of California's Prop 12 Last week, I participated in a House Agriculture Committee hearing on California’s Proposition 12. While states have the right to govern within their borders, one state's policies should not dictate how livestock, poultry, and swine farmers across the country raise their animals. California’s Prop 12 threatens the livelihoods of Kansas hog farmers and sets a dangerous precedent for interstate commerce. Overreaching policies like Prop 12 that are not rooted in science have the potential to jeopardize our agricultural community's ability to effectively feed, fuel, and clothe the world, and we cannot allow Kansas to be governed by these types of one-size-fits-California mandates. Strengthening American Agricultural Supply Chain Successfully feeding, clothing, and fueling the world doesn’t stop when crops are harvested. The entire agriculture supply chain relies on timely and reliable delivery every step of the way from production to consumption. If our nation’s farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers can’t access the machinery they need to operate their farms or transport their products to storage, it would be impossible for them to fulfill their calling or deliver products to consumers. Last week, I introduced the Seasonal Agriculture CDL Modernization Act, which strengthens the entire agricultural supply chain by enacting commonsense reforms that make it easier for farm-service drivers to do their jobs and serve customers and consumers. Food security is national security, and we must retain it by removing unnecessary regulatory burdens for our agricultural economy.
