The first female senator from Texas, she held office from 1993 through 2012.

She did not run for re-election to the Senate in 2012.

Wade]]'' was rightly decided and should not be overturned by the [[United States Supreme Court]].<ref>http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=108&session=1&vote=00048</ref> Additionally, Senator Hutchison is a strong and active proponent of [[stem cell research]] that involves the killing of human embryos.<ref>http://www.rnclife.org/faxnotes/2005/may05/05-05-06.html</ref> However, Hutchison has voted for restrictions on abortion such as supporting the 2003 [[partial birth abortion|Partial Birth Abortion]] Ban Act.
Hutchison voted for the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program ([[TARP]]), leading Rick Perry supporters to call her "Kay Bailout Hutchison." Hutchison inserted 346 [[earmark]]s in the last two years spending bills costing $2.6 billion.<ref>Citizens Against Government Waste (http://www.cagw.org); OpenSecrets.org</ref>
Hutchison is the widow of Ray Hutchison, a lawyer and Republican former member of the Texas House of Representatives. The two met as fellow House members, she from [[Houston, Texas|Houston]], and he from [[Dallas]]. Their 1978 marriage was the second for each.
In 2017, Hutchison was appointed by [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]] as the U.S. Permanent Representative to [[NATO]].
