GOP Congresswoman in Memory Care Facility, Months Without Voting
Representative Kay Granger, retiring at the end of her term, has been absent from the Capitol since July due to undisclosed health challenges. A source confirmed her residence in a Texas retirement facility offering memory care, refuting reports placing her in a dedicated memory care unit. Granger’s prolonged absence sparked criticism regarding seniority versus merit in Congress, while a Republican source cited the party’s narrow majority as a factor in her delayed resignation. Despite her absence, she recently attended a portrait unveiling ceremony.
