Green says he is “committed to ensuring the working class values of Hamilton continue to be well represented in Ottawa.”
Green served as Ward 3 councillor from 2014 to 2018 but opted not to seek re-election because of his intention to run in the next federal election.
He is currently serving as executive director of the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), a non-profit organization which advocates for diversity and equity.
