You can sure tell Rep. Mark Green is not running for Congress this year. He isn't bringing much back for his area in the latest Health and Human Services appropriations bill in Congress.

If you go the Sunlight Foundation's website and shift the earmark map to Wisconsin, you will see there is noticeable lack of earmarks up in the 8th Congressional District.

The website is actually designed to help bring to light the congresspeople asking for earmarks. And I supposed the Green Team would argue that they are being fiscally conservative. But that doesn't wash since he has bragged about the earmarks he has inserted into bills in the past.
