WASHINGTON — Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., said Monday that he will resign from Congress after it passes a massive policy bill to advance President Donald Trump's domestic agenda.
“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,” Green said in a statement, adding that he notified Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., that he would vacate his seat after the House’s next vote on the legislative package that's currently in the Senate.
Once Green’s resignation takes effect, the House will have 219 Republicans and 212 Democrats.
The House has experienced significant turnover in recent months with retirements and deaths. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., died in May, and Democratic Reps. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Sylvester Turner of Texas died in March, while Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., resigned from his House seat at the beginning of the year to join the Trump administration.
