U.S. Representative Who Has Been Secretly Missing For Six Months, Found In Unexpected Place

Congresswoman Kay Granger of Texas, who hasn’t been seen by her constituents in months, has been found living at a dementia living facility in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Daily Mail reported that Rep. Kay Granger, 81, hasn’t visited her Washington D.C. office in over six months, and the last time she voted on a bill was on July 24th, 2024.

Granger was checked into an assisted living facility after she was  ‘found wandering, lost and confused’ in her district.

In the last several months when constituents called Granger’s office, they were quickly directed straight to voicemail.

Check out what The Daily Mail reported:

A still sitting Texas Congresswoman has been missing votes in Washington because she’s been living in a $4,000-a-month nursing home for the past six months.

Kay Granger, 81, who was set to wind up a nearly 30-year career in the House in January, hasn’t visited her office for the past six months.

Carlos Turcios, a reporter for a local outlet, started to do some research by contacting her offices which never once responded to calls, going directly to voicemail.

Granger’s constituency office was also a complete ghost town upon a visit, with no signs of anyone working there.

Eventually, one of Granger’s constituents suggested to the Dallas Express that the Congresswoman was living in an assisted living facility.

She was reportedly living at a care home that specializes in memory loss after she’d been ‘found wandering, lost and confused’ in her district.

A visit to the Tradition-Clearfork in Fort Worth resulted in two employees confirming that Granger lives there.

Here’s what The Dallas Express reported:

Amid the ongoing drama in D.C. with Congress furiously debating and voting on an interim spending bill a key question has arisen from constituents in Texas Congressional District 12, “Where is Congresswoman Kay Granger?” Some Tarrant County residents have begun to speculate.

“I’m hearing she’s in a memory care unit. We need to have standards. 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!” Fairfighter posted on X.

According to Ms. Granger’s roll call vote page, Grangers last vote was on July 24th, 2024 as she voted No to the “Amendment in the House H.Amdt. 1157 (Miller) to H.R. 8998: To reduce the salary of Ya-Wei (Jake) Li, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs, to $1.”

Since then, Granger has not cast any votes in Washington on behalf of her Tarrant and Parker County constituents.

The Dallas Express attempted to reach her district and D.C. offices but calls went directly to voicemail where a recorded message from Congresswoman Granger plays.

“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 says.

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.
