Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, is resigning from Congress early, giving lawmakers deja vu after he reversed his decision in 2024 not to seek reelection.
Green said in a statement on Monday that he is retiring with a “heavy heart” and notified Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) he will resign “as soon as the House votes once again on the reconciliation package.”
“Though I planned to retire at the end of the previous Congress, I stayed to ensure that President Trump’s border security measures and priorities make it through Congress,” Green said. “By overseeing the border security portion of the reconciliation package, I have done that. After that, I will retire, and there will be a special election to replace me.”
