Issues

Abortion: Mann says on her website that "abortion is healthcare." She goes on to say that access to health care is a human right, so abortion should be a right, as well. Missouri's abortion ban combined with poor Medicaid funding makes the state dangerous for women's health, Mann says.

Economy: Mann wants more products to be made in the United States and to get broadband access to more rural areas of the country. She also wants to update infrastructure as a way to boost the economy and public health.

Immigration: Mann says she thinks the immigration system is broken and answers to the problem are complex. She calls for treating asylum seekers with dignity. Mann also says upgraded technology could keep more fentanyl from coming into the United States.
