House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green Announces Retirement from Congress

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., has announced his retirement from Congress to pursue an opportunity in the private sector. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve Tennessee's 7th Congressional District and highlighted his efforts to uphold conservative values during his time in office. Green, an Army veteran who has been in Congress since 2019, played a key role in overseeing border security measures and priorities under the Trump administration. Following the House's upcoming vote on the reconciliation package, Green will step down, triggering a special election to fill his seat. The departure of Green, a staunch Republican, is expected to maintain the district's GOP representation.
