Mark Green: “They like what's going on. You can't be this dumb. It's on purpose.”

It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Congress. Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up.

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.

Congress is broken, and it was time for me to return home.

It’s with a heavy heart that I say farewell.
