WASHINGTON – The House Steering Committee announced that Rep. Mark Green will be recommended to serve on the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
A graduate of West Point, Rep. Green is a former Special Operations flight surgeon with three combat tours in the War on Terror. Green was part of the mission to capture Saddam Hussein and interviewed the former dictator for 6 hours on the night of his capture.
Rep. Green is also a former state legislator and successful businessman. The healthcare company Dr. Green founded garnered $200 million in annual revenue. He served in the Tennessee State Senate for six years, where he distinguished himself as a conservative leader fighting for freedom and smaller government. His chief legislative accomplishment was repealing the Hall Income Tax, the second time in U.S. history a state repealed an income tax.
“It has been an honor to serve our country fighting America’s enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was also an honor serving in the State Senate,” said Rep. Green. “Serving on the Committee on Homeland Security and the Committee on Oversight and Reform will allow me to continue fighting for smaller government, more responsible spending, a strong America and secure borders.”
The House is expected to vote and ratify Rep. Green’s assignments this week.
