Mark Green to retire from House early after second reconciliation vote

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.”
