Mark Green: “You have facilitated and encouraged record levels of illegal immigration since your first day in office.”

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.

I commend Rep. Knott for leading legislation that will ensure DHS has the right intelligence and preparation to keep accomplishing this mission and protect our communities.

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.
