Mark Green: “The Democrats' last grand idea for fixing healthcare, ObamaCare, was a colossal failure that we will be trying to repair…”

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.

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.

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

I have no more speakers, and I am prepared to close after the gentleman from California closes.
