U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) has voted to advance H.R. 9106, the Enhanced Presidential Security Act of 2024. The bill passed in the U.S. House of Representatives with a unanimous vote of 405-0. This legislation aims to establish uniform standards for Secret Service protection for current U.S. Presidents, Vice Presidents, and major candidates for these offices.

Rep. Mann issued a statement following the bill's passage: "Audrey and I remain incredibly grateful that President Trump is safe and that no one was harmed in this weekend’s assassination attempt," said Rep. Mann. "These security failures have shown the nation that there is an obvious gap in the protection of major candidates for President and Vice President of the United States."

He continued, "Today’s vote assures concerned Kansans that every American running for these offices have the proper resources and security they need to remain safe and secure in their pursuits to serve the country. While President Trump’s perseverance is second to none, we must continue to get to the bottom of the massive security failures that allowed these attempts to take place to begin with and hold the responsible parties accountable."

In July 2024, Rep. Mann voted to establish The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump following an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. He denounced hate and violence and urged Washington Democrats to change their tone toward President Trump.
