Biographical Note

Kay Bailey, born July 22, 1943, received her law degree from the University of Texas in 1967. She was one of the first woman news reporters in Houston, working for KPRC-TV. She also worked for a period as press secretary for Anne Armstrong while she was co-chairman of the National Republican Party. She served two terms in the Texas Legislature and was a member of the 1974 Texas Constitutional Convention. During her legislative career she was particularly concerned with women's rights, especially rape legislation, mass transit, and land use planning. She resigned from the 64th Legislature to accept a presidential appointment to the Federal Transportation Safety Board. Additional biographical information is available in Box 45, Folder 7.
