House Republican Discovered In Senior Assisted Living Facility After Being Missing For Months, Report Says

According to a report by The Dallas Express, a House Republican has finally been found after not casting any votes in Congress for months.

Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) has not cast any votes on behalf of her constituents since July 24th, 2024, the outlet reports.

“I’m hearing she’s in a memory care unit. Can’t confirm details yet. We need to have standards (something like) Representatives who miss 3 votes in a row without announcing a legitimate medical reason should have their salaries and benefits frozen. This has to stop!” one X user commented.

The Dallas Express stated it attempted to contact Granger’s district and D.C. offices but calls went directly to voicemail.

“I am sorry we are unable to answer your phone right now. We are really glad you called us. Please leave your name, phone number and a brief message and someone in our office will call you back as soon as possible,” the recorded message said, according to the outlet.

The outlet then visited her office in person to investigate.

Per The Dallas Express:

We then visited her office in person hoping to understand how Congresswoman Granger planned to vote on the continuing resolution this afternoon. Upon arrival, we found the door locked, front door glass window covered, no one inside, and no sign of the office continuing to be occupied.

When we asked employees at the WestBend building where Ms. Granger’s district office is located what happened to Ms. Granger’s office we were told that her team had packed up and closed the office before Thanksgiving. Her office appears to be closed for good (she is retiring at the end of the session) with phone calls going unanswered and voice mails not returned.

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.

BREAKING: A Director for the senior living facility told us that “This is her home.” Congresswoman Granger has not been voting since July. Why have the public/constituents been left in the dark about the nature of her absence? Does CD12 have no representation?@DallasExpress pic.twitter.com/0MByEFsUHe

“Granger, 81, was last seen in public back in July, when she cast her final vote. She was then seen at one point ‘wandering lost and confused’ around her neighborhood before being admitted to a memory care home, per the Dallas Express,” journalist Nick Sortor wrote.

“Even with a RAZOR SLIM Republican majority, she refused to resign, even though she is totally incapable of doing her job. Her constituents had ZERO representation for those several months, and calls to her office routinely went unreturned. Absolutely despicable. Congress is just one big nursing home now, as both McConnell and Pelosi have had multiple medical episodes over the past year alone,” he added.

NEW: After being “missing” for SIX MONTHS, Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) has been found living in a Dementia Care Home in Texas

This is RIDICULOUS. We need TERM LIMITS.

The Dallas Express added:

Taylor Manziel who is the Assistant Executive Director for the senior living facility acknowledged to The Dallas Express that “This is her home.”

Tarrant County Republican Chairman Bo French told The Dallas Express that the lack of representation during a crucial voting period in Congress is troubling.

“The lack of representation for CD-12 is troubling to say the least. At a time when extraordinarily important votes are happening, including debt ceiling, disaster relief, farm bills and border issues, Kay Granger is nowhere to be found. The margin in Congress is razor thin and the lack of a Republican vote representing CD-12 disenfranchises 2 million people. We deserve better,” French said.
