A leader in national defense and global security, Kay Granger serves and fights for the 12th congressional district of Texas, which includes Wise County, Parker County, and the western half of Tarrant County. Since making history in 1997 as the first Republican woman to represent Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives, Granger has earned her reputation in Congress as an influential conservative leader.
In 2020, Granger was re-elected by her colleagues to serve as the Ranking Member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee in the 117th Congress. As the Committee’s Lead Republican since 2019, Granger advocates for Republican priorities and fiscal responsibility – while working closely with House leadership, the Senate, and the White House to ensure that the needs of the American people are properly met and funded.
I have always been a strong supporter of cutting wasteful government spending and making sure that our precious taxpayer dollars are used wisely.
To protect and secure Social Security, pay down the national debt and promote a strong national defense, Congress must balance the need for valuable programs with the need for fiscal responsibility. We can’t afford to continue spending more money than we have.
I also believe that it is necessary to balance the budget without increasing taxes. Tax increases would hurt the District’s job creators and hard-working families whose finances are already stretched thin.
Rather than raising taxes, I will continue to look for ways to get government spending under control and once again balance the federal budget.
