This resolution honors the life and legacy of Kay Granger, a longtime Republican congresswoman from Texas who passed away in 2025. Granger made history as the first woman to serve as mayor of Fort Worth, the first Republican woman to represent Texas in Congress, and the first Republican woman to chair the House Committee on Appropriations during her nearly 28-year tenure in the House representing Texas's 12th District. Throughout her career, she was known for advocating for national defense, championing military interests in Texas including the F-35 fighter jet and the USS Fort Worth naval vessel, and authoring the Monuments Men Recognition Act that honored World War II veterans. The resolution expresses the House's sympathy to her family and directs that an official copy be sent to them. No funding or specific timeline requirements are associated with this commemorative resolution.
