House Republicans

We are the Republican Conference in the United States House of Representatives 🇺🇸 Led by Chairwoman @RepLisaMcClain

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

WE WILL STOP COMMUNISM. 🇺🇸

[Chairwoman Lisa McClain @RepLisaMcClain]

ON THIS DAY in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. His voyage led to the discovery of the land that became America—the most exceptional country on Earth. Today, the communist Left wants to wipe his name from history. Not on our watch.

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

America is the STRONGEST NATION ON EARTH. Peace through strength isn't a slogan. It's how we keep it that way. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Ben Cline @RepBenCline]

I am saddened by the passing of Congresswoman Kay Granger. She was a trailblazer and an incredible leader in her district, the Republican Party, and our Nation.

Rest in peace, Kay. Elizabeth and I are praying for her family and loved ones.

[Michael McCaul @RepMcCaul]

A fierce champion for the Lone Star State, Kay Granger broke through barriers to pave the way for generations of conservative women in Texas politics. In the halls of Congress, she wielded her appropriations gavel with grace and resolve, gaining the respect of members across the political spectrum.

She was a principled stateswoman, a steadfast defender of U.S. national security, and a friend who will be deeply missed. Please join me in praying for her loved ones during this time.

[Congressman Scott Franklin @RepFranklin]

Chairwoman Kay Granger dedicated decades of her life to serving the people of Texas and our nation with integrity, grace and steady leadership. As Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, she worked tirelessly to advance responsible funding priorities, earning the respect of colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

I had the privilege of serving on @HouseAppropsGOP during her tenure as chair and saw firsthand her thoughtful leadership and unwavering commitment to the institution. I'm praying for her family, friends and former staff. May she rest in peace.

[Rep. David Valadao @RepDavidValadao]

Today, we mourn the loss of former Congresswoman Kay Granger—a true trailblazer and dedicated public servant. As the first Republican woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee, Kay worked tirelessly to strengthen our national security, invest in our communities, and ensure taxpayer dollars were spent responsibly. Terra and I are praying for her family, friends, and all who knew her as they grieve this tremendous loss.

Mamdani is requiring ID to shop at his communist grocery store so non-citizens of NYC can’t buy the discounted food.

So why are he and the entire Democrat party opposed to requiring ID so non-citizens can’t vote?

[Dave Joyce @RepDaveJoyce]

It was a privilege to work alongside Kay Granger on the House Appropriations Committee and witness firsthand her dedication to our country. Kelly and I send our deepest condolences to her family and all those mourning her loss.

[Robert Aderholt @Robert_Aderholt]

It was an honor to serve alongside my friend Kay Granger on the House Appropriations Committee for so many years. She was a trailblazer, a principled conservative, and a tireless advocate for Texas and our nation. My prayers go out to her family. https://t.co/xwFNxud3g3

For her entire career - as a teacher, businesswoman, mayor, and congresswoman - Kay Granger put her Texas community first. Kay was an Iron Lady who was as graceful as she was tough. I’m grateful to have called her a friend.

May God bless Kay Granger and her family as we mourn her passing.

[Congresswoman Julia Letlow @RepJuliaLetlow]

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of my dear friend Kay Granger. When I first joined the Appropriations Committee, Kay provided me with the thoughtful advice and genuine encouragement that I needed to effectively represent my district. As the first female chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, she was a trailblazer who paved the way for more of us to answer the call to service. Her extraordinary legacy will be felt by all of us for many years to come.

[Rep. Roger Williams @RepRWilliams]

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Chairwoman Kay Granger. Kay was a trailblazing leader who left a profound impact on our community and our nation. From serving as Fort Worth’s first female mayor, to becoming the first Republican woman elected to Congress from Texas, to being elected as the first Republican woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee.

Kay was a patriot who understood the true meaning of public service. Her word was her bond, and she led with strength, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the people she served. I was proud to call her a friend, and she will be greatly missed. My prayers are with her family and all those who knew and loved her.

[Rep. Riley M. Moore @RepRileyMoore]

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her 🙏

[Rep. Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford]

Chairwoman Granger selflessly served her Fort Worth community for nearly three decades, and was a pioneer who remarkably overcame obstacles and set the standard for women in politics.

She was the first woman to serve as the Mayor of Fort Worth, the first woman to be elected to the House of Representatives from Texas, and she was the first female Republican to chair the House Appropriations Committee.

She lived an incredible life and she left a massive impact on Congress. Leslie and I are praying for her family and loved ones. May she rest in peace.

[Congressman Nathaniel Moran @RepNateMoran]

Kay Granger spent a lifetime breaking ground for the people of Texas—as Fort Worth's first female mayor; then as the first Republican woman elected to represent our state in Congress; and later as the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee.

Those are not small firsts. They are an inspiration for others, and a legacy built on intelligence, determination and true grit. She showed up, for twenty-eight years for the people of North Texas, and it was an honor to serve alongside her in Congress.

Fort Worth and Tarrant County lost a tireless advocate today, and the House lost a trailblazer. Well done, Kay. Our prayers are with your family and friends as you blaze this next trail to your heavenly home.

[Rep. August Pfluger @RepPfluger]

Deeply saddened by the passing of my friend, Congresswoman Kay Granger.

Congresswoman Granger broke many barriers, starting as the first woman elected mayor of Fort Worth, the first Republican woman elected to represent Texas in the U.S. House, and the first Republican woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee. She will be remembered as a fierce advocate for veterans, military readiness, and Texas.

My prayers are with her family, loved ones, and the Fort Worth community as we grieve her loss.

[Rep. John Rutherford @RepRutherfordFL]

I am saddened by the passing of former Texas Congresswoman and Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, Kay Granger. As a teacher, businesswoman, city council member, mayor, and U.S. representative, Kay dedicated her life to serving her community and country.

My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones as they mourn the loss of a great American and devoted civil servant.

[Congressman Kevin Hern @repkevinhern]

She was Fort Worth’s first female mayor. She was the first Republican woman to represent Texas in the House. She was the first Republican woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee. For nearly three decades she served with strength, grace, and unwavering dedication to our nation.
