Mark Green: “It is not racist to say we have a problem at our Southern Border.”

To my constituents across Tennessee’s 7th District—thank you. The trust you put in me is humbling.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Congress.

Our supply chain for food would be disrupted. Think of empty shelves on grocery stores, think of manufacturing grinding to a halt.

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.
