Washington, DC - On Tuesday, January 4, 2005, Houston Rep. Gene Green was sworn in to his seventh term as a Member of Congress at a U.S. Capitol swearing in ceremony for the 109th Congress. The event was attended by Congressman Green’s wife, Helen Green.
“I am honored the people of the 29th District have chosen me to represent them for another term,” said Rep. Green. “I will continue to address the concerns families wrestle with everyday: preparing for retirement, providing a high-quality education for their children, and paying the rising costs of prescription drugs.”
In the 109th Congress, Rep. Green will continue to serve on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Committee on Official Standards and Conduct, commonly known as the Ethics Committee. Additionally, Green will serve the Democratic Leadership as a Regional Whip and Senior Deputy Whip.
