Missing Congresswoman Sparks Outrage, Ethics Debate
Rep. Kay Granger, the first Republican woman to lead the House Appropriations Committee, announced her retirement in March but continued serving until ceasing to vote in July. Subsequently, it was revealed she had moved to a memory care facility due to dementia, a fact her office initially did not disclose. This lack of transparency, coupled with the possibility of House leadership concealing her situation to maintain their slim majority, has sparked bipartisan concern. The situation has ignited a broader debate about the health and transparency of elderly members of Congress.
