Before Mark Green abruptly retired from the U.S. House of Representatives last summer, the embattled congressman and his lobbyist business partner allegedly used trade information from one of the partner’s clients to compete for a lucrative fuel agreement with the Guyanese government, according to a lawsuit.
Last spring, Green established a company called Prosimos alongside lobbyist and corporate attorney Marc C. Hebert.
In June, Green announced his retirement from Congress, less than six months into his fourth term, which he won in a 2024 campaign riddled with personal drama surrounding his divorce, an alleged affair and tensions among his family.
In July, he stepped down, triggering a frenetic special election to replace him in the seat that represents a significant chunk of the midstate.
