With his current term closing at the end of this calendar year, Dr. Greene is running for another six-year term with a continued focus on citizens’ democracy.

“I firmly believe that citizens who care should serve in politics when possible,” says Dr. Greene. “It makes a huge difference to have average citizens in office rather than career politicians.”
Dr. Greene finds strong, rewarding parallels in his roles as LPSC District 2 Commissioner and orthopaedic surgeon, including listening to issues, getting an idea of patients’ and constituents’ current problems, and trying to navigate conversations toward realistic solutions that will be good for everyone. “I see a lot of people who tell me, ‘My knee hurts and my electric bill is too high,’” says Dr. Greene. “I say, ‘Okay, let’s diagnose both.’”
