Mark Green to depart Congress after vote on Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., has announced his early departure from Capitol Hill, revealing his plans to leave Congress for the private sector after the House votes again on President Donald Trump’s upcoming bill. In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Green expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, calling it “the honor of a lifetime.”
Green reflected on his accomplishments during his time in Congress, highlighting his work on passing historic tax cuts, securing the border with President Trump, and defending innocent life. As Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, he expressed pride in his contributions and thanked his staff for their support.
While Green had initially considered retiring in the previous Congress, he decided to stay to ensure that President Trump’s border security measures were passed. With the completion of overseeing the border security portion of the reconciliation package, Green announced his retirement and the upcoming special election to replace him.
As an Army veteran who has served in Congress since 2019, Green played a key role in overseeing Republicans’ impeachment of former Biden administration Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Despite his departure, Green’s seat is expected to remain in Republican hands, given the district’s strong support for President Trump in the previous election.
While Green’s future plans in the private sector remain undisclosed, it is anticipated that his legacy in Congress will be remembered. His departure marks the end of a chapter in his political career, as he looks forward to new opportunities outside of the Capitol.
