House Republican leaders are continuing to lose committee chairs and members of the rank and file.
Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), chair of the House Appropriations Committee, revealed Friday she would step down from her perch once leaders pick a replacement.
Granger, who already announced she’d be retiring at the end of the term, said in a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) she wanted to “ensure a seamless transition before [fiscal 2025] bill development begins in earnest.”

She acknowledged that “an election year often results in final appropriations bills not getting enacted until well into the next fiscal year,” meaning that, if she stayed on as chair, she would risk leaving office before she could finish what she started.
