Former Representative Kay Granger from Texas passed away on Sunday at the age of 83. Her former colleagues commend her for breaking significant barriers for women. Granger was the first woman to be elected as the mayor of Fort Worth, Texas. She was also the first Republican woman from Texas to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first female Republican to chair the Appropriations Committee.
Since 1997, Granger served in the U.S. House but retired in January of the previous year due to health issues and prolonged absences from Washington. Her legacy as a pioneering leader remains strong.
“Kay Granger devoted her life to serving her Fort Worth, Texas community — as a teacher and businesswoman, on the Fort Worth Zoning Commission and City Council, as Mayor, and in Congress for nearly three decades, where she also served as Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee. Throughout her career, she broke barriers for women in public service,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
