Mark Green currently serves in the United States House of
Representatives. As a freshman, his leadership abilities were
quickly noticed by being appointed to the leadership position of Assistant
Majority Whip.
He has continued his hard work since he was elected to
Congress in 1998 and re-elected in 2000. He has been very proactive in representing
Northeast Wisconsin. He has also become a leading
spokesman on the front lines of both the tax reform and milk price reform
battles.
Prior to his election to
Congress in November of 1998, Green served for six years in the Wisconsin
state Assembly, where he chaired both the Assembly Republican Caucus and
the Assembly Judiciary Committee. During his time in the state Assembly,
he developed a reputation for fighting taxes and crime, and contributed to
significant reforms in Wisconsin’s education and welfare systems.
He currently lives in Green Bay with his
wife Sue and their three children.
