Bio
Green was born September 1, 1947 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Green graduated from Florida A&M University and went on to receive his Doctorate of Jurisprudence in 1974 from Texas Southern University. He was later elected as Justice of the Peace in Harris County in the Precinct 7, Place Two position, prior to running for the U.S. Congress.
Green is the former president of the Houston NAACP.
Congressional career
After a heated primary race, Green defeated Republican Arlette Molina in the 2004 general election to represent the 9th district in the U.S. House.
Green's defeat of Congressman Chris Bell in the 2004 Democratic primary for the re-districted 9th, triggered the Bell's ethics complaint against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.[1]
2006 elections
No major candidates announced their intentions to contest Green’s seat in the November 2006 election. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [2]
