Tennessee Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Green of Clarksville announced he will not seek reelection in 2024, following his involvement in the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Green, a deeply conservative former Army Ranger medic, combat veteran, physician, and successful businessman elected in 2018, cited the impeachment and his desire to 'go out on top' as reasons for his departure. His decision has been met with praise from colleagues for his leadership on the Homeland Security Committee and his contributions to border security legislation. Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn, another prominent figure, was also recognized for his impactful leadership and mentorship within the Democratic Caucus, with colleagues highlighting his contributions to civil rights, healthcare, the economy, the environment, and more.
Jim Clyburn’s leadership has left an everlasting impact on our nation, from civil rights to gun safety reforms and rural broadband. His dedication has shaped legislation and empowered communities. Thank you, @RepJamesClyburn, for your tireless service to our country. https://t.co/FQ0aYGpTAS
