About Al Green (politician)

Alexander N. Green (born September 1, 1947) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the U.S. representative for Texas's 9th congressional district since 2005. A member of the Democratic Party, Green served as the justice of the peace of Harris County, Texas from 1977 to 2004. Green is a member of the United States House Committee on Financial Services. On March 6, 2025, Green was censured for having repeatedly interrupted President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress two days earlier. Green has filed articles of impeachment against Trump multiple times, during both of Trump's terms in office, including on three occasions in 2025 alone; none of these resolutions have been successful. He was also escorted out of the House chamber during the 2026 State of the Union Address. In 2026, he ran in Texas's 18th congressional district against Christian Menefee in the Democratic primary after his district was drawn out due to the Texas redistricting. He lost to Menefee in the primary runoff. In 1974, Green co-founded the law firm of Green, Wilson, Dewberry, and Fitch. Green then won the 2004 general election. On October 13, 2011, he voted against an amendment to the Affordable Care Act which prevented insurance programs created by the Act from covering abortions.
