My name is Rennie Hill Mann, a native Texan born in 1972 in Waxahachie. After completing high school and college in Texas, I joined our family business, Mann Glass Concepts Inc. I learned my strong work ethic from my stepfather as I prepared to take over the management of Mann Glass Concepts after his passing.

In 1994 I married my beautiful wife, Candy Clark. We have three children, and we live in Richland Springs. As a successful business owner and rancher, I served my communities in Forney and Richland Springs. I left each place I served better physically and financially. I plan to leverage my business and community skills as a U.S. Senator for the people of Texas.

My strong commitment to God, Family, Texas and America are core beliefs. As Senator, I will do everything in my power, and those of the constitution, to protect and preserve those beliefs.
  • My belief in God, family, and country are foremost in my mind. Our country was founded by people who believed in God, belief in the strength of the family unit and a country of free people. I am a business owner and rancher, not a politician. I'm not running for endorsements from the elitists and large corporations, but for the people of Texas and of the U.S.A.
  • My main priorities are for fiscal responsibility in our dept and budget, each item should be examined and voted upon individually in accordance with the Constitution. We need immediate, valid, and responsible changes in our care of veterans. I believe we should prioritize and recognize China as our chief adversary and end our dependance upon their products. The issue of drug use must be addressed. Finally, I believe our second amendment rights should be protected, defended vigorously, and never negotiated.
  • My pledge, if I am elected, will be to defend the Constitution and the rights guaranteed by it and address the priorities I have listed.
National Debt: if we are to remain a sovereign country, we must balance our budget and erase our national debt. "America First" policies will help us to reduce and/or erase our national debt.

Border security is vital to the safety of our citizens. President Trump has begun this effort, and we must maintain his success.

The VA must have real changes to better care for our veterans and heroes.

The second amendment is not negotiable.

Recognition of the dangers of dependance on China.

Control of drug use and drug cartels.
It would be easy to say Jesus, but to me it's a way of life not just a way to say, "look at me, I'm a Christian." The more you act the way He, Jesus, expects you to act instead of just telling everyone you are a Christian. My stepdad exemplified the qualities of a godly man. He was a straightforward Christian man, and his words was sure. Coach Maxfield, my high school football coach, gave me the determination and confidence to accomplish anything if I committed to work to achieve my goals. Those two men have instilled in me a never quit attitude, and the belief that there is always a way to success if you have the will, the work ethic, and determination to push toward that goal.
The first book that would come to mind that undergirds my political philosophy is "Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin. I appreciate the political insight provided by "Unwoke" by Senator Ted Cruz. My most inspirational movie would be Reagan starring Dennis Quaid.
The most important characteristics or principles for an elected official are integrity, honesty, and steadfastness. Standing with your principles, maintaining the integrity of the Constitution. I'm a strict constitutionalist. An elected official is there to represent the people, to be open and available to constituents. My God, family and my country with America coming first when making political decisions.
To be a successful office holder my leadership skills assist me in all areas of my life. My business, ranching and community have been benefitted by my desire to be exceptional not average. My glass company was successful because of the strong traits that were instilled in me by my stepdad, Dick Mann. The desire to exceed and excel are common traits for the people of this country from early colonists to the entrepreneurs today. The desire to succeed and excel does not mean that there is only one voice. I listen with respect even though I may not agree. Every citizen deserves to be heard. Respect is a two-way street. The willingness to listen does not mean weakness. I stand by my morals and beliefs.
I want my legacy to read that I put my country first. I want to be one of the, "We the people" not an establishment member. I want my name linked with bringing God, the family, and our country back to the center of our country. I want to be known for keeping my word to my constituents.
The first historical event that made an impression on my life was the Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28th, 1986. I was thirteen at the time. We were watching the event on television. This flight and the Space Shuttle Columbia on February 1, 2003, impacted my life tremendously. Yet nothing compares to the 9/11 disaster that caused the death of three thousand Americans. These were not pleasant memories but watching President Reagan's address at the Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987, made a lasting impression on this fifteen-year-old boy.
My first job was sweeping floors at Mann Glass at the age of seven.
My most motivational book would have to be "What It Takes to Be Number one" by Vince Lombardi. It taught me to strive for the best and never accept mediocrity.
Captain America because he symbolizes my spirit of patriotism and the desire to work for the good of the people.
"Riser" by Derks Bentley.
I have committed my life to living up to my stepdad's exacting standards.
I perceive that our national debt and the encroachment of China is a threat to our existence as a sovereign country.
I am in favor of term limits for all branches of government. Term limits, whatever is deemed reasonable, would allow members of congress to concentrate on serving the people they represent, not worrying about reelection. This would remove career politicians who focus on their own goals not those of the people.

Not necessarily. Washington's experienced politicians have voted us into a $37 trillion national debt and their "experience" is costing Americans financially and the loss of importance to the embedded politicians.
The filibuster is a constitutional provision that opens room for debate and cooperation. It gives a certain amount of power to the minority party to delay or debate or compromise for a vote. When a bill is perhaps controversial to one party, the filibuster promotes serious debate and cooperation.
Two senators that serve as models for me are Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. They are strict constitutionalist that work for the people.
The evaluation of a judicial nominee is one of the most crucial duties of a senator. These lifetime appointments have jurisdiction over our constitution for many years. Any nominee should have a high regard for the constitution. Their records should reflect their belief in the rules written in the Constitution. Their positions should be apolitical avoiding prejudice for a political party. Their allegiance should be to the Constitution and the beliefs of the Founding Fathers.
Every individual is worthy to be treated with respect, no matter their opinion. I respect differences in opinions and beliefs, but respect is a two-way street. You get what you give. With that being said, my beliefs and values are not open for negotiation.
Compromise is a reciprocal process. By definition, it is an agreement or settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions to achieve a positive resolution to a complicated issue. When it comes to my core beliefs, values, and the American taxpayer I am cautious in my compromises. Compromise has led to a $37 trillion national debt. Spending bills that started at 1.2 trillion become 1.7 trillion with special interest scattered though a four-thousand-page bill that no one reads thoroughly. There seems to be too many hands in the cookie jar for things that 99% of American taxpayers would not approve. Compromise becomes extortion. I believe that every tax dollar spent should be examined line by line before a vote is taken. Tax dollars should benefit the American taxpayer.

When confirming a presidential appointee, I would carefully explore the nominee's character, qualifications, and policy views.

Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs
Senate Foreign Relations Committee

My views on financial transparency and government accountability are concise and clear. Every dime of taxpayer money spent should be clearly designated and spent where it was intended. The American taxpayer has developed a distrust of their government because of the lack of transparency and accountability. We the people no longer trust our government. If elected, one of my main goals will be to hold everyone within the constraints of influence accountable to the constitution and my abilities. The lack of trust prevalent today has led to the divisions we face in our country. I pledge to do my best to restore trust and accountability in our government.
