"House GOP Negotiator Kay Granger Steps Down from Powerful Appropriations Chair Role"
Rep. Kay Granger, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, has announced her resignation and requested a replacement to serve out the remainder of the congressional session, expressing her intention to return to her career as an educator. The announcement comes after the House passed a $1.2 trillion government spending package for fiscal 2024, which now heads to the Senate for consideration. Granger plans to fulfill her commitment and serve through the end of this Congress, ensuring a seamless transition before the fiscal 2025 bill development begins.
