Mann votes to send 'One Big Beautiful Bill' to President Trump's desk
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) voted to pass H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, which delivers on Congressional Republicans and President Trump’s campaign promises of lowering taxes, securing the border, and unleashing American energy dominance, passed by a vote of 219-213. Rep. Mann released the following statement after the vote:
“Over the past four years, Kansans expressed grave concerns to me about our nation’s border security, skyrocketing prices, and a federal government that continually burdened their way of life in rural America through excessive regulations,” said Rep. Mann. “On November 5, 2024, the country overwhelmingly agreed with Kansans in the Big First and rejected even more taxes, Green New Deal regulations, and open border policies. Today, our Republican majorities succeeded in our campaign promises to uproot wasteful spending, prevent the average family from seeing a tax increase of $2,200, and deliver the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class families in American history. I am extremely proud of the work we did to give Kansas families, small businesses, and agriculture some much-needed relief and to continue getting our country back on track. When President Trump signs the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, American families will have with more money in their pockets, secure borders, and accountability for the taxpayer dollar in honor of our 249th birthday.”
