Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Rep. Craig Goldman (R-TX) has represented Fort Worth since 2025 when he succeeded Kay Granger, who also served as the city’s first female mayor before elected to Congress: “Texas has lost a legend…Kay Granger transformed the city she loved…Kay will be greatly missed, but her incredible legacy will not be forgotten.” Parent Post: Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Former Fort Worth, Texas Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger, who served in the U.S. House for 28 years (1997-2025), was the first Republican woman from Texas elected to the House and the first female Republican appropriations chair, died Sunday night at age 83. She last spoke on the House floor on March 22, 2024 in support a $1.2 trillion government spending package, before stepping down the next month as appropriations chair. RIP. @cspan https://www.c-span.org/program/us-house-of-representatives/house-debate-on-government-spending-until-september-30/640090 Quoted Post: Craig Goldman @GoldmanCraig - Texas has lost a legend and I am deeply saddened by this news. Kay Granger transformed the city she loved. Across her many decades of service to the Fort Worth community and all of CD TX-12, she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those she represented. She was the first woman to lead Fort Worth as Mayor, the first Republican woman to represent Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first Republican woman to chair the U.S. House Appropriations Committee. Kay will be greatly missed, but her incredible legacy will not be forgotten. I extend my sincere condolences to her family. May her memory be a blessing. https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/2084148556370203061 10
