U.S. Rep. Mark Green, R-Clarksville, has announced he will not run for reelection when his term ends later this year, reports the Tennessean. Green, who is currently chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, said it is "time for me to return home." He continued, "Our country — and our Congress — is broken beyond most means of repair," but said he would continue serving the country in a "new capacity." Green was elected to the House of Representatives in 2018 to serve Tennessee's 7th Congressional District. Former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, a Democrat, announced in December she would seek her party's nomination to challenge Green for the seat.
