WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Kay Granger (R-Fort Worth) today released the following statement in response to the fact that it was an F-16 fighter plane that carried out the bombing raid that killed al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq.
“I want to congratulate the defense workers in our community on a job well done,” said Congresswoman Granger. “Today we celebrate a major victory in Iraq and in the War on Terror, a victory that is a direct result of the work you do. I always say that we have the best workforce in the world. Today, you made America proud.”
Granger serves on the Appropriations Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. She also serves as a Deputy Majority Whip. Granger is the first and only female Republican to serve in the Texas House delegation. Granger represents the 12th District of Texas and is currently serving her fifth term in Congress.
