Congressman Mark Green Confirms He’s rethinking Retirement Decision.
On February 14th Rep. Mark Green said he would not run for re-election for House District 7 in Congress. FULL STORY Yesterday Senator Kerry Roberts released a statement that Green was doing a great job and should stay. FULL STORY Today Green’s office has confirmed with Smokey Barn News that he is reconsidering that decision and may in-fact run.
“As far as I’m concerned, he is the one who needs to be our representative in Congress,” Senator Roberts said yesterday. “I’m going to say publicly what I know a lot of Tennesseans think: we wish he would run for reelection! He is doing a great job for us in Congress, and he is the one we need fighting the fight on our behalf. I hope Mark will reconsider and run for reelection!”
In his retirement announcement back on the 14th Congressman Green said, “I have come to realize our fight is not here within Washington, our fight is with Washington.”
“At the start of the 118th Congress, I promised my constituents to pass legislation to secure our borders and to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable. Today, with the House having passed H.R. 2 
and Secretary Mayorkas impeached, it is time for me to return home. In the last few months, in reading the writings of our Framers, I was reminded of their intent for representatives to be citizen-legislators, to serve for a season and then return home. Our country–and our Congress–is broken beyond most means of repair. I have come to realize our fight is not here within Washington, our fight is with Washington. As I have done my entire life, I will continue serving this country–but in a new capacity.” Green’s full statement can be read here.
Having first been elected to Congress in 2018, Congressman Green served as the Freshman Class President in the 116th Congress. At the beginning of the 118th Congress, Green was selected as Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, becoming the only member of Congress to be selected at the start of his or her third term to chair a major legislative committee this century.
So far, only former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry has pulled papers to run.
