Texas Rep Kay Granger found living in senior care facility

The whereabouts of Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger, 81, sparked concern among her constituents and colleagues in recent weeks, after she was not seen voting in the House of Representatives since July 24. The Texas representative, who serves the 12th Congressional District, was later found to be residing in a senior care facility, according to reports by local media. Granger, the first female Republican to represent Texas in the House, was the subject of growing speculation after her absence during critical votes, including the recent spending legislation debate. A report published by The Dallas Express on December 20 detailed how local reporters had unsuccessfully attempted to contact her, with phone calls going unanswered and her office found locked. A tip from a source revealed that Granger had been living in the memory care wing of a senior living facility, which was later confirmed by staff at the Tradition Senior Living facility in Fort Worth, Texas. However, her son clarified on December 22 that she was not in the facility's memory care wing, but was receiving assistance due to health issues, including dementia. The absence of Granger, who has represented Texas for nearly three decades, troubled members of her own party. Tarrant County Republican Chairman Bo French expressed concern, stating that Granger’s absence during key votes had left her constituents – nearly two million people – without representation at a crucial time. In a December 20 Facebook post, Granger shared a photo of herself with her congressional interns, calling it an “honour” to have them assist her. However, her post garnered numerous comments questioning her lack of presence in Washington and accusing those involved of hiding her health condition. In a statement, Granger’s office said her health had deteriorated since September, making it increasingly difficult for her to travel to Washington. Despite her absence, the statement emphasized that her staff had continued to serve her constituents. Granger, who had announced she would not seek re-election in 2024, stepped down from her role as Chair of the House Appropriations Committee earlier this year. In November, she was honoured in Washington for her decades of service, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise praising her as a “tough-as-nails conservative leader.” Granger’s successor, Republican Craig Goldman, is set to take over her congressional seat.
