81-Year-Old Rep. Kay Granger Found in Dementia Care Facility After Six-Month Absence
Dec 22, 2024, 05:54 PM
Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger, representing Texas's 12th District since 1997, has been found living in an assisted living facility specializing in dementia care after being absent from public duties for six months. Granger, 81, last cast her vote in Congress on July 24 and stepped down from her role as House Appropriations Committee chair in March. Despite attending a Capitol Hill ceremony unveiling her portrait on November 19, her prolonged absence has raised concerns about transparency and the need for term limits. Reports indicate she transferred the deed to her home for $10 in July and was found wandering lost and confused near her Fort Worth neighborhood before entering the facility. Her staff denies she is in memory care but confirms she has faced unforeseen health challenges. The situation has sparked discussions on the cognitive abilities of elected officials, with figures like Elon Musk calling for cognitive tests and others emphasizing the importance of term limits. Granger is set to retire at the end of this congressional term.
