Kay Granger - Ideology

Ideology

Her own website posts an article from "Conservative Quarterly" that calls her "a dependable vote for the leadership on most issues." She is also a member of the conservative Republican Study Committee.

In 2003, Granger was given a 10 percent rating by NARAL and an 84 percent rating by the Christian Coalition of America.

Granger has also voted several times in favor of an amendment to the United States Constitution to make it a crime to physically desecrate the American flag. She also supports the Federal Marriage Amendment.

She was easily renominated in the March 2, 2010, Republican primary, having polled 70 percent of the ballots over intraparty rivals Mike Brasovan and Matthew E. Kelly.

Interest Group Ratings: In many of the ratings of interest groups that are there, Rep. Granger has the larger percentage in typically conservative groups. For example, in the interest groups of Concerned Women for America and the Christian Coalition of America her ratings were higher. In contrast, groups such as the School Nutrition Association and the Peace Action had much lower support ratings from the Representative.

Recent Votes: For representative Granger her recent votes are as follows: -Nov. 18th, 2011 In a proposed Balanced Budget Amendment (and her most recent vote), she voted for the amendment. -Nov. 16th, 2011 In the National Right to Carry Act she also voted in favor of the act. -Nov. 3rd, 2011 In the Public Disclosure of Bonuses and Golden Parachute bill, she voted against it.

In the house overall, the November 18th bill failed in the house while both the bills on November 16 and 3 were both approved.

In 2012, after chairman of the Taiwanese defense committee Lin Yu-fang rejected calls for more F-16 fighters and said that only the F-35 could ensure Taiwan's security, Granger offered a NDAA amendment that passed the House to offer only the much older F-16 fighter to Taiwan.
