Tracey Mann is a so-called "birther" and as such supports the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States and should therefore never have assumed the office of US President. During his candidacy for the Kansas State Congress, Mann said in a radio interview, "I think the president of the United States needs to come forth with his papers and show everyone that he's an American citizen and put this issue to bed once and for all." ("I think the President of the United States should hand out his birth certificate and show everyone that he is an American citizen and thus end the subject once and for all.") The newspaper The Hutchinson News , which until then had been largely benevolent of Mann , then withdrew her campaign support, as Mann “doubted Obama's citizenship despite irrefutable evidence”. The Secretary of State of the state of Hawaii had already made Obama's birth certificate publicly available prior to Mann's testimony . Tracey Mann then described his statements as "misleading". He does not call himself a "birther".
