accountable government
In Arkansas, we believe in the rule of law, the constitution, and that no one is above the law. Justice should be applied equally. Power should never go unchecked. Healthy debate is not a threat. It is a strength. Checks and balances are not obstacles. They are guardrails.
After a lifetime in science and medicine, I know you don’t get good outcomes without questioning assumptions, reviewing evidence, and listening to others with expertise. Our government should work the same way. We need leaders who earn power through competence, integrity, and service to their constituents.
honest democracy
We have to get dark money out of politics. Period.
​
When billionaires and special interests can buy influence, regular people lose their voice. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, no one likes feeling that the game is rigged.
​
I believe in free, fair, transparent elections where every vote counts and every voter has confidence in the outcome. That is the bare minimum for a functioning democracy, and it must be the foundation of our system.
thriving communities
I do not believe families should have to work themselves to exhaustion just to survive. I believe in an Arkansas where all families thrive.
​
That means: ​
-
Supporting family farms and pushing back on big monopolies.
-
Raising the minimum wage so work actually pays.
-
Accessible, affordable healthcare so getting sick does not mean going broke, and women don't have to travel hours for maternity care.
-
Strong infrastructure, including safe roads and bridges, reliable broadband, excellent public schools, productive farmland, and utilities that support both our environmental integrity and our communities’ needs.
Meet Dr. Green
Dr. Terri Yarbrough Green has been shaped by generations of resilience. She’s navigated gun violence, family illness, caregiving, and an intense medical career, building uncommon grit, wisdom, and resolve.
A board-certified pathologist and laboratory medical director, she’s spent decades inside America’s healthcare system and communities, serving rural hospitals, and working with nurses, administrators, and laboratory technologists to ensure quality care for all patients.
​​
She holds a BA in Law from Baylor and an MD from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She was born in El Paso and adopted at birth by a WWII Navy veteran and his wife. At home, she’s a wife, mom, stepmom, and proud grandmother who tries to pass on her love of reading to her six grandchildren along with the occasional crocheted blanket. She loves RV travel, her three rescue dogs and cat, and a good road trip. The Grand Canyon is her favorite destination. She hopes to someday hike to the river and back.
She’s running for Congress because lived strength and tenacity belong at the table where decisions are made, and Arkansans deserve a government that works for the people - not wealthy insiders.
I’m running for Congress because Democracy only works when people have real choices in leadership and a government that works for working families, not just wealthy insiders. I’m ready to fight for the people of the First Congressional District.
I did not begin my career in politics. I began by trying to understand how people function, and what happens when the systems around them fail. In my career as a pathologist, I examined evidence and provided answers. When I examine our government, I see a system failing those it’s meant to serve, and I’m running to fix that.
