Early life and career
Green was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He attended
Florida A&M University and transferred to Tuskegee
University. He later went on to receive his Juris Doctor in
1974 from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas
Southern University. After receiving his law degree and being
admitted to the Texas Bar, he remained in Houston and
currently lives in the Alief community.
In 1978, Green was elected Justice of the Peace in Harris
County, Texas, in the Precinct 7, Place Two position. He held
this position for 26 years.
A former trial lawyer, Green co-founded the firm of Green,
Wilson, Dewberry, and Fitch. He also served as president of
the Houston NAACP and, during his term as the
organization's leader, membership increased sevenfold. While
serving as NAACP leader, he focused on increasing minority
hiring in Texas and forming alliances with Hispanic groups.
Green is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.[2]
Political career
While still serving as a Justice of the Peace, Green ran for Mayor of Houston in 1981, finishing a distant fifth in

2. the primary.
In 2004, Green entered the Democratic primary for the 9th District. The district had previously been the 25th,
represented by freshman Democrat Chris Bell. However, Bell was placed in significant jeopardy as a result of
the 2003 Texas redistricting. Although the district was heavily Democratic, it had a significantly larger number
of blacks and Latinos than its predecessor. The old 25th had been 65 percent white, while the new 9th was 17
percent white, 37 percent black and 33 percent Latino. This left Bell vulnerable to a primary challenge from a
black or Latino Democrat, and prompted him to file an ethics challenge against Tom DeLay.
In the March 9 primary, Green crushed Bell with 66 percent of the vote to Bell's 31 percent. He beat the
Republican nominee Annette Molina in November. He was reelected unopposed in 2006 and faced only a
Libertarian in 2008. This is not surprising given this district's partisan tilt; with a Cook Partisan Voting Index of
D+22, it is the second-most Democratic district in Houston.
While in Congress, Green has focused on issues similar to those that he worked for while with the NAACP. Fair
housing and hiring practices for the poor and minorities are some of his greatest concerns.
Political positions
Green, a Democrat, shows strong liberal tendencies on social issues.
He is pro-choice, and consistently votes accordingly. On October 13, 2011, he voted against an amendment to
the Affordable Care Act, which prevented insurance gained through the Act to cover abortions.[3] The bill
passed convincingly in the House. Green has voted against eight other bills proposed in the House that would
prevent any government spending to cover abortion. Due to this, he has received 100% ratings from Planned
Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America, while receiving a 0% rating from the National Right to Life
Committee.[4]
Green also supports gun control. He spoke out after the Trayvon Martin shooting, asking members of the
African-American community to show faith in the justice system and let the courts do their job and convict
George Zimmerman.[5] The National Rifle Association gave him a rating of 0%, and Gun Owners of America
rated him 25%, while the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gave him a Lifetime Score of 83%.[4]
On budget issues, Congressman Green strongly follows his party’s views. He has supported every budget bill
proposed during President Obama’s term. However, during President Bush’s term, he voted against all bills to
cut government spending and taxes.[3] Green also voted for President Obama's bailout of the Auto Industry in
2009.[3] On December 10, 2008, he wrote a statement supporting the bailout, saying, “The auto bailout is really
about bailing out people, and the people of this country... I think that [how tax dollars are spent] is a legitimate
concern for the American people, but I do think, with the proper strings attached, we can bail out the
people...who may lose their jobs.”[6]
Congressman Green is a member of the Congressional Pakistan Caucus. He is a strong supporter of holding on
to Pakistan as an ally in South Asia. After the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on
December 27, 2007, which initially destabilized the country as riots erupted, Green issued a statement
condemning the assassination as a “dastardly effort to circumvent the democratic process.” He announced the
US’s continued alliance with Pakistan, and urged Pakistanis to continue pushing towards democracy, “knowing
that freedom, justice, and democracy are difficult to achieve.”[7]
After the 2012 election, in which he was once again reelected in Texas' 9th district,[8] Green spoke at a press

3. conference in Houston. He emphasized the need for the lame duck Congress to work together to reform the
budget. He announced his plan to propose infrastructure development across the country, in order to create jobs
and unify America.[9]
Green is a supporter of the Federal Reserve's program of quantitative easing and claims that it has led to
economic recovery since the financial crisis of 2008.[10]
