U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, will step down early as chair of the influential House Appropriations Committee, a powerful position held by a Texan in Congress, after serving as the top Republican on the committee since 2019. Granger, the longest-serving Republican in the Texas delegation, plans to remain on the committee as Chair Emeritus and return to her career as an educator. Her departure comes amid frustrations with the committee's focus on divisive cultural issues, and she aims to provide advice and counsel to her colleagues.

"Fort Worth Congresswoman Kay Granger Steps Down, Leaving Seat Open for New Republican Candidate"

House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger, the first female Republican House member from Texas, has announced that she will retire from Congress instead of seeking reelection in 2024. Granger, who has served since 1996 and became the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee in 2018, stated that it is time for the next generation of leaders in her district to step forward. Her retirement will open up a race for the top Republican position on the House Appropriations Committee, with Rules Chairman Tom Cole seen as the early favorite. Granger's legacy includes her support for military spending and her leadership on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

Kay Granger, Longtime Republican Congresswoman, Announces Retirement from Politics

Republican U.S. Representative Kay Granger of Fort Worth, who has served in Congress for nearly three decades, announced that she will not seek reelection. Granger, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, has had a barrier-breaking career as the first Republican woman from Texas to go to the U.S. House and the first female mayor of Fort Worth. Her district, which is drawn to favor Republicans, will likely remain in GOP control. Granger's decision opens the door for a new representative to step up and continue her work.
