Rep. Mark Green’s Retirement Letter Read on House Floor

A letter from Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., formalizing his resignation from Congress, was read on the House floor early Friday.

According to the House website and the House Press Gallery X account, Green’s retirement becomes effective as of 11:59 p.m. on July 20.

Punchbowl News reported last month that Green informed GOP leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that he intended to leave Congress early.
