Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District Rep. Mark Green will resign from the U.S. House of Representatives, taking a private-sector job “that was too exciting to pass up.”
The Republican said in a statement Monday evening that he will resign “as soon as the House votes once again on the reconciliation package” — legislation termed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump.
