Mark E. Green, Congressman for Tennessee’s 7th district, has recently used his platform to share his views on various policy issues. Green, who succeeded Marsha Blackburn in 2019, has served in the U.S. Congress and previously in the Tennessee Senate. On April 8, 2025, Green shared his perspectives through a series of tweets on changes in firearm policy, human rights in Cuba, and federal election laws.
In a tweet posted on April 8, 2025, at 18:36 UTC, Congressman Green remarked on the decision by the Trump administration to end the Biden-Harris ATF’s ‘Zero Tolerance Policy’. He noted, “Yesterday, the Trump administration ended the Biden-Harris ATF’s ‘Zero Tolerance Policy’ which revoked hundreds of federal firearm licenses from small businesses for minor paperwork errors.” Green expressed support for the law-abiding gun store owners in Tennessee’s 7th district who were affected by this policy.
In another tweet from April 8, 2025, at 19:00 UTC, Green addressed Cuba’s human rights abuses, particularly against medical personnel. He stated, “I’ve been working for years to draw attention to Cuba’s human rights abuses against its medical personnel. I’m glad to see the State Department acknowledging Cuba’s complicity.”
Later that day, Green discussed federal election security in a tweet at 20:01 UTC, reminding followers of the SAVE Act’s passage in the House during the last Congress. He said, “Last Congress, the SAVE Act passed the House in a bipartisan vote, 221-198, only to be blocked by Senate Democrats. This Congress, we have the opportunity to secure our federal elections.”
