GOP Rep Granger’s Absence Highlights Need for Term Limits
Texas Rep. Kay Granger, who is retiring, has not voted since July and was recently found residing in an assisted living facility. Her absence during crucial votes sparked criticism from constituents and party officials, highlighting concerns about her lack of representation for her district. This situation, along with recent health concerns among other senior elected officials, has reignited the debate surrounding age and term limits in Congress. Calls for term limits and campaign finance reform aim to address concerns about a gerontocracy and ensure effective representation.
