Former Congressman Mark Green suddenly retired this summer, less than a year into his fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, to pursue an unknown business venture.
Business filings in Florida show that Green has started a company, Prosimos, alongside attorney and lobbyist, Marc Hebert.
Earlier this month, Green campaigned for his chosen successor, Matt Van Epps, at several local events ahead of the Oct. 7 special primary election.
After one event, Green spoke to the Nashville Banner briefly about his new company, which he described as a continuation of public service, designed to thwart Chinese business ventures.
