A Statement from Congressman Mark E. Green, MD

“Having served Tennesseans in Congress for four terms and in the Tennessee Senate for six years, I am friends and colleagues with the candidates running to replace me in Congress. Each one has their strengths. However, one of those candidates and I served in the same Army special operations unit—a brotherhood that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Therefore, I am endorsing a replacement for my seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Matt Van Epps has the same spirit of Duty, Honor, and Country that was instilled in us at West Point and sharpened with the Night Stalkers. Matt is a decorated combat veteran, a relentless fighter, a principled conservative, and exactly the kind of leader the 7th District deserves as its voice in Washington. He will stand side by side with President Trump to deliver on the America First agenda that prioritizes Tennesseans.

Matt Van Epps has my complete and total endorsement.

As a West Point graduate and veteran of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, I know firsthand the kind of grit, leadership, and mission-first mentality it takes to serve Tennessee’s 7th District—and stand up for conservative values in Washington.

The momentum behind Matt’s campaign is undeniable. Matt is a true warrior who has fought for our country abroad and is ready to fight for our values here at home.” – Congressman Mark E. Green, MD
