Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a blogger/writer, a legal assistant and a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. My run for Congress is focused on a few basic desires by the Ninth District of Washington, safe streets, good, traditional education for the youth of America, secure borders, staying out of foreign entanglements and wars, and a robust economy

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Reduce National Debt, Rationally: Get rid of useless departments and agencies, e.g., the Department of Education, cut spending by 3% across the board except Social Security, and thereafter 1.5% annually until the budget is balanced.
• Pro-Life and General Social Policy: Traditional social policies. Pro-life. Help fund pregnancy counseling centers. National abortion ban with critical health exceptions. General anti-interventionist. Stay out of wars and proxy wars. Rethink alliances (doesn't necessarily mean get out of them).
• Heed 1st President Washington's Admonishment to the Nation: Stay out of foreign entanglements. To Mark, that means virtually no foreign aid to various countries. Significantly hollow-out foreign aid by at least two-thirds. Use the savings to help balance the budget. Mark would vote against any and all crazy wars, and hold any president, no matter the name or the party, to the Constitution that says Congress must have the ultimate say in such matters, and the will of the people must be done.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

The U.S. shouldn't be involved in wars and conflicts in general where there are no clear and grave U.S. interests. No administration should be able to perform acts of war against any country without a formal Declaration of War by Congress. The Republican Party has stood for freedom & liberty since its inception in Wisconsin in the 19th Century, notably as an abolitionist (anti-slavery) party. The party, throughout the generations, though notable exceptions like the bad Bush regimes, has generally stood up for strong, moral values, strengthening the Constitution to acknowledge our God-given values & rights, and establishing free market economic theories that allowed the United States to become the dominant economic power of the world.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

There are so many to choose from but I liked the 1987 "Empire of the Sun" movie because it showed the strength of a seemingly powerless boy to rise above tough times through wit and his general God-given talents. He was able to survive momentous tides of history, in his case, World War II, through sheer faith, wit and optimism, but also willing to defy the order of the day, if need be, as well as once perceived heroes or friends, in order to maintain his sense of integrity, his sense of right and wrong. That's a lot for a boy. The story was based on true events.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Being their best selves to the spirit of the Almighty God that created this universe, and secondly, to the better angels of the people that elected them. Doing right in the face of mighty opposition or even dispirited popular, majority opinion. Standing by the Constitution, of course, but to God's Law, first and foremost, if ever the Constitution dared to defy the Word of God.

What is your favorite book? Why?

"Nicholas and Alexandra" by Robert Massie, author. This is a classic example of the true history of a strong female and a relatively weak male leader, and how they dealt with the cards handed to them by tradition, family and the tides of history. This story has everything: Democracy versus Autocracy, Radicalism versus Democracy, and Foreign Powers versus Radicalism. It shows how powerful, earthshaking world events can be controlled by seemingly mundane occurrences of fate, and how, time after time, history has shown, how unknown commoners of low grade come out of nowhere to be cast in larger than life roles that undoubtedly shape great historical dramas, for better or for worse. This story is cast amidst the backdrop of war and revolution and the fall of several great empires. It's a powerful story to me because it shows a myriad of human characteristics and how they manage to adjust, adapt (thrive) or fall prey [or in time, all or some of these, not necessarily in any particular order] to the vagaries of life.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

I think regaining our sense of identity, which is pretty much the same as saying reinvigorate our sovereignty by remembering that, "We, the United States of America", are "a People" based on our history, heritage and Constitution. Our nation is NEITHER some 'vague' or 'grand' notion of the "welcoming colony of the world", as many, unfortunately, want to make it to be. We are a settled people and have been for hundreds of years. We need to get back to a sense of the old-time values of God, family and destiny, and it's our own children (descendants) that should maintain that destiny, but at the same time humble enough to accept that we can't be all things to all people in the world. If we are to maintain our sovereignty, that means that we have to set limitations on immigration, limitations on foreign outreach, and limitations on any sense of grandeur and pomposity, the latter which nations throughout history have been brought back to humility, if not dismantled entirely, by the supremacy of God's will. We can escape that fate by listening to God.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Term limits for the president, as set in the Constitution, are good enough unless overwhelming public pressure demands term limits. In that case, I would suggest term limits for Representatives and Senators to be 24 years long (that would be for the entirety of Congress, in other words, it would have to include your time for both Representative and Senator if you served as both), but nothing shorter than that. I don't want professional bureaucrats to have control of Congress any more than they already do, and short term limits would, unfortunately, guarantee that. Remember, there are already "term limits", in a sense, through the length of set elected terms; two years for Representatives and six years for Senators. All you have to do is vote them out if you don't want them anymore.

Campaign website

Greene’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Isolationist Borders Finish the wall, deport lawbreakers, secure the borders. An Immigration Moratorium with few exceptions and sprucing up the all-but-forgotten Northern Border, too. Virtually No Foreign Aid Significantly hollow-out foreign aid by at least two-thirds. Use the savings to help balance the budget. Reduce National Debt, Rationally Get rid of useless departments and agencies, e.g., the Department of Education, cut spending by 3% across the board except Social Security, and thereafter 1.5% annually until the budget is balanced. Biden's Unconstitutional Acts of War and Saber-rattling Stay out of Biden's proxy wars. U.S. should not be involved in wars and conflicts in general where there are no clear and grave U.S. interests. No administration should be able to perform acts of war against any country without a formal Declaration of War by Congress. Anti-Interventionist Our friends in the 9th District, some of you already did your Sarah Smith experiment. It didn't work in 2018 and it's not going to work in 2024, even with a different "Sarah". The new "Sarah", Melissa Chaudhry, is an Open Borders sympathizer just like the old Sarah. As for Adam Smith, one of Congress's leading provocateurs for Biden's proxy wars, also nuclear brinkmanship, you'll need Republicans to defeat Smith but Republicans are not going to vote for the most extreme radical if we only had the choice between two radicals (but a case could be made for either one, Chaudhry or Smith, as the most extreme radical) and more than likely we're not going to vote for either one. However, we have Mark, our Republican candidate, who can find common ground with some of the more sensible Democrats in the 9th District. Common Ground With the Other Parties' Anti-Interventionists Mark would vote against any and all crazy wars, and hold any president, no matter the name or the party, to the Constitution that says Congress must have the ultimate say in such matters, and the will of the people must be done. Mark agrees with the 1st President, Washington, stay out of foreign entanglements. Tradition Pro-Life and General Social Policy Traditional social policies. Pro-life. Help fund pregnancy counseling centers. National abortion ban although with critical physical health exceptions. Schools Revamp schools: Allow for greater school choice, including charter schools, abolish the Department of Education as well as some federal mandates on schools. America First General anti-interventionist. Stay out of wars and proxy wars. Rethink alliances (doesn't necessarily mean get out of them). My Republican Party The Republican Party has stood for freedom and liberty since its inception in Wisconsin in the late 19th Century, notably as an abolitionist (anti-slavery) party. Our party, throughout the generations, has stood up for strong, moral values, strengthening the Constitution to acknowledge our God-given values and rights, and establishing free market economic theories that allowed the United States to become the dominant economic power of the world.	”

C. Mark Greene completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2019. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Greene's responses.

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

I would make sure that the Elections Department is independent and neutral, which is why I don't ask for endorsements from professional politicians or partisan organizations. It's important that the department is completely depoliticized and abandons the current activism, e.g., promoting bills in the Legislature; leave the actual work of politicking to the politicians. The important work of the elections department means thoroughly double-checking the machines that count votes by hand counting ballots before and after the actual votes take place. I'll also not rely on the honor system for information that's put on voter registrations, but will actually look for possible fraud and errors. You can't find transgressions if you don't look for them.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I have been interested in election administration for about 10 years, because it is the central tenet in making sure that the desires of citizens are actually implemented through the electoral choices that they make. This involves how people can get involved in the decision-making process, how jurisdictions are decided upon in regards to who can vote and what they are voting on, how candidates come into the process and their campaigns are conducted, and how votes are counted.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My favorite political hero is Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. Roosevelt was strong and decisive, and a true patriot. He was the first president to really pay attention to environmental issues, and created the national park system that is marveled by American citizens to this day. Teddy Roosevelt didn't hesitate to break up trusts and monopolies that were no friends of the Common Man, and came to the aid of citizens in distress in other countries. When he said something, he meant it.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

I like the book "Theodore Rex" by the late Edmund Morris, which was about the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. It's nearly impossible to agree with any contemporary or historical person 100%, but even if I didn't agree with all of President Theodore Roosevelt's ideas and decisions, which was seldom, I liked the strength and vitality in which he conducted his presidency, and his gruff personality.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

To be strong and undeterred in upholding the convictions and policies that you have, and being true to your word with rare exceptions, because anybody can have an earnest change of heart.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I can represent the people that voted me into office, even if their views are closely contested and may not have overwhelming popularity. It's important that principles are defended even if not popular in some segments of society. I have the ability to focus on an issue that's important, understand it well, and work tirelessly to come up with solutions to whatever problems are at hand.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To have integrity, understanding of constituents' wishes, love of nation and the energy and intellectual comprehension needed, which usually means studying hard, to finish the job at hand.

What is your favorite book? Why?

"Victoria Victorious" by author Jean Plaidy, a great historical novel about England's Queen Victoria, and the trials, hardships and victories in her life before and after she became queen at the age of 18. She was queen from the 1830s to 1901. I also liked "Nicholas and Alexandria" by Robert Massie, an interesting history of Russia from the 1890s to circa 1920.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

Good reading and writing skills, some mathematical ability, understanding of basic political science, and the ability to be a good manager, among others.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes. I have been in politics for decades, and have a good understanding of our nation's government and history, but there's always room for improvement for anybody going into this kind of work.

Ballotpedia biographical submission form

The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:

“	What is your political philosophy? Making sure that the elections department is independent and neutral, that registration information is checked for possible fraud or errors, that vote machine tabulation counts are double-checked by random hand counts, and possibly though gradually, for all votes, transitioning to hand counts only. The magnitude and authenticity of all votes, and the integrity of the system, will be strengthened by pro-active policies that empower the vote of citizens. Is there anything you would like to add? "Make the best environmental choices possible as the guardians of the planet that was bestowed to us by God, the Maker of man and the lilies of the field. We must be aware of and counteract climate change with rationality, not overreaction. Make progress for the Common Person by being attuned to the economic interests of the forgotten men and women, including that the rights of citizens are foremost, and that the future belongs to our progeny. Respect the dignity of life for all, including the unborn. Keep our nation's customs, traditions and values strong. We don't believe in erasing history, but to learn from it."	”
