US EditionMark Green announces retirement from Congress before end of term
- On June 9, 2025, Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee announced he plans to leave his congressional seat before completing his current term, despite having secured re-election in November 2024.
- Although he had intended to step down after the last Congressional session, he chose to remain in office to help secure the passage of President Trump's border security initiatives during a time of slim GOP control.
- Green serves Tennessee's 7th District since 2018, chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, and led efforts on border security and impeaching former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
- Green said the private sector offer was "too exciting to pass up" and he will resign as soon as the House votes again on the tax and spending reconciliation package.
- His departure will trigger a special election and reduce the Republican House majority to 219-212, affecting Speaker Mike Johnson's legislative leverage.
