Ha! I'm in Kustoff's district but the news story as it was presented on politburo channel 5 out of Memphis that I saw was basically a Barry campaign ad.
I don't know if Green had a successor in the works or not.
Quote from the story I saw from Barry:
“Mark Green’s announcement today changes nothing. When I announced my campaign, it wasn’t to just defeat one person but rather to help overhaul a system that has forgotten about families and communities. A system that has taken away a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. A system that has seen wealthy corporations earn record profits while Americans struggle to pay their bills, access quality healthcare, and find housing they can afford. A system that has failed to deliver on common sense gun policies that would keep our children and communities safe,” Barry said in a statement. “Mark Green is leaving behind a broken Congress that has failed to deliver for Tennessee families, and that is why I’m in this race – to be their voice, their choice, for a better America. I expect candidates who agree with Mark Green or are even more extreme will announce campaigns, and I look forward to taking on whoever makes it through that primary.”
