Kay Granger, Longtime Republican Congresswoman, Announces Retirement from Politics
TL;DR
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.
