Rep. Mark Green (R-Clarksville) announced on Tuesday he’ll seek reelection for a third term as representative for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District.
The 7th District used to encompass all of Williamson County, however, due to recently passed legislation redistricting the state, the county is now split between Districts 7 and 5.
Green has been the representative for the 7th District since 2018. He was reelected for the first time in 2020.
“I am honored to announce that I am seeking another term in Congress to continue serving the people of Tennessee’s 7th District,” he said. “Getting to represent the voices of Tennesseans in Middle and West Tennessee has been the honor of my lifetime.
“As your representative in Washington, I will work to protect the rights of Tennesseans to govern themselves. The federal government has no right telling the people of Tennessee how to run their lives and businesses, what health care decisions to make or even how to administer our elections. Allowing the federal government to encroach further into our lives, inch by inch, is dangerous — this is how you get tyranny.”
