Rep. Mark Green said Monday he plans to resign from Congress after four terms to accept a private-sector job offer.
The Tennessee Republican and Homeland Security Committee chair said his retirement would begin after the House votes again on the GOP’s domestic-policy megabill now under consideration in the Senate.
“I am grateful to Speaker Johnson and House Leadership for placing their trust in me to chair the Committee on Homeland Security, lead the effort to impeach former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas” and pass border legislation, Green said in a statement. “However, my time in Congress has come to an end.”
Green announced last year he would retire but then reentered the race. Shortly before the election, his wife went public with allegations of an extramarital affair, which POLITICO corroborated.
