Report: ‘Missing’ Republican Congresswoman Living in Texas Assisted Living Facility

Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), who has missed votes for months, is reportedly in Texas at a $4,000-per-month assisted living facility.

The Dallas Express reported the 81-year-old, who represents Texas’s 12th congressional district, last voted in the House on July 24, and has not voted since.

As part of its investigation, the Express found that Granger’s D.C. office phones went directly to voicemail, found no sign her local Texas office was occupied, and ultimately discovered she is a resident at an assisted living facility:

We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.

The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility. However, we were not permitted to conduct an interview regarding the current spending debate in the House of Representatives and how or if Ms. Granger planned to vote.
