Rep. Mark Green, representing Tennessee’s 7th district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, recently shared a series of tweets addressing both weather awareness and concerns over the state of U.S. shipbuilding. Green, who succeeded Marsha Blackburn in Congress, is also known for his previous service in the Tennessee Senate from 2013 to 2018.
On March 14, 2025, Rep. Mark Green issued a warning to residents of Tennessee’s 7th district via Twitter: “TN-07: Be weather aware!” This message underscores the importance of staying informed about potential weather-related hazards.
The following day, on March 15, he highlighted issues within the U.S. shipbuilding industry: “The United States used to be the world leader in commercial shipbuilding…” He compared current U.S. production with China’s output of over 1,700 ships annually and emphasized revitalizing American shipyards with the hashtag #MakeAmericaSailAgain.
Later that day, Rep. Green continued his advocacy for American shipbuilding through another tweet: “For too long, America has ceded its leadership in shipbuilding…” He stressed its importance to national defense and promoted legislation aimed at restoring this critical industry.
