(Washington, DC)— On July 12, 2013, Congressman Al Green released the following the statement upon the announcement of the resignation of Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, effective in early September.

“Secretary Napolitano has served with grace and distinction, despite the myriad of pressures and challenges she has experienced during her tenure.  She has been an invaluable partner on many issues important to both Houston and Texas, including port and border security.
