Fort Worth holds memorial service for trailblazing Representative Kay Granger
The service followed the passing of the long-serving congresswoman on August 2 at the age of 83. Granger represented Texas for nearly 28 years and was the first Republican woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee. In Washington, Representative Dan Goldman introduced a resolution to honor her life and career. This legislation recognizes her extensive public service as a teacher, business owner, and mayor before her time in Congress. Local leaders and colleagues gathered in Fort Worth to pay their respects to the former representative. The memorial highlighted her legacy of breaking barriers for women in the Republican party and her influence on federal spending.
