Summary
Texas Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger, 81, has not voted in the US House since July while reportedly dealing with dementia and living in a senior facility.
Her absence, undisclosed until media investigation, raises concerns about representation in her district and her capacity to serve.
Granger, a long-time legislator and former House Appropriations chair, announced plans to retire in 2025.
Critics argue her condition may have impacted her 2022 re-election. Local Republicans called her absence troubling amid critical votes, prompting broader debates on aging lawmakers’ transparency and governance.
How the hell does she not retire immediately? She’s in a senior home. She’s not representing her district at all.
Bet she still gets paid, regardless.
And her insurance probably covers EVERYTHING.
If I didn’t show up to work for 6 months, they’d stop paying me - surely there would be a case to force her to return the salary she drew while not actually performing any of her duties?
Don’t worry guys, after the Elonbrain implant she is back to normal and will be voting correctly for now on!
If this pathetic human was working at McDonalds she would have been fired the first day she skipped work in July. 😡
Isn’t the house currently (2025) separated by 1 seat?
She didn’t run in 2024
Donnie Poopypants found another cabinet nominee.
As a Texan, I worry that this revelation will make her more popular with the dumb assholes around me
For Pete’s sake can we institute some age limits on these “representatives” already?!?!
