Rep. Kay Granger Living in Memory Facility

Amidst Republican infighting and the battle to keep the government funded, Texas Republicans were rocked with controversy over a congresswoman who’s been missing in action. Texas Rep. Kay Granger (R) has allegedly been absent from voting since July, and news is circulating that she’s been living in a memory facility this entire time.

Rep. Granger’s absence from voting in Washington dates back to July 24, 2024, and it now appears that the longest-serving Republican has been living in a local memory facility for the past six months, according to reporting from the Dallas Express.

The Texas Republican announced that she would not be running for reelection, and that she would be retiring after her term ends in early 2025. She has represented Texas’ 12th congressional district since 1997.

Carlos Turcios, Community Involvement Chairman of the Tarrant County Republican Party, ventured to the facility and spoke to the assistant executive director, who confirmed “this is her home.”

After news began to spread about Rep. Granger’s residence, Texas Republicans were dismayed.

Bo French, who is the chairperson of the Tarrant County, Texas, Republican Party, was shocked at the finding, admitting that the “lack of representation for [Granger’s district] is troubling to say the least.”

Rolando Garcia, a State Republican Executive Committeeman, weighed in on the controversy, shared on social media that “the fact that Kay Granger is unable to leave her nursing home to participate in the most important congressional vote of the year suggests she was already in visible decline when she ran for re-election in 2022.”

He went on to call the controversy “a sad and humiliating way to end her political career.”

The issue comes at the close of an election cycle marked by President Joe Biden’s (D) health decline, which resulted in him stepping down from his reelection campaign.

Questions linger however surrounding GOP leadership and the lack of oversight leading to a member of congress being absent for so long.
