When District 57 incumbent Republican Representative Craig Frank ran for the Utah State Senate in 2012 and left the seat open, Greene was selected as one of two candidates from the Republican convention for the June Republican Primary which he won with 2,057 votes (55.4%) and won the November General election with 11,029 votes (85.8%) against Democratic nominee Scott Gygi.
In 2014, Greene defeated both John Stevens and Holly Richardson in the Republican convention and then continued on to defeat Democratic nominee Michael Plowman in the November 4, 2014 general election with 6,317 votes (82.5%).
In 2015, Greene questioned whether sex with an unconscious spouse should be considered rape during a committee hearing on a measure which sought to clarify that sex with an unconscious individual is rape. Greene later apologized for his comments and said media reports had taken his words out of context.
During the 2016 legislative session, Greene served on the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environmental Quality Appropriations Subcommittee, the House Judiciary Committee as well as the House Revenue and Taxation Committee.
