Rep. Kay Granger Faces Health Challenges

Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, has publicly acknowledged facing 'unforeseen health challenges' over the past year, which have made her frequent travel to Washington difficult. Despite reports suggesting she resides in a memory care facility, her son clarified that she is living in an independent living unit within a retirement community in Fort Worth. Granger has been absent from Congress for nearly six months, missing over 54% of votes this year, but returned briefly in November for the unveiling of her portrait. She expressed gratitude for the support she has received during this time and emphasized the honor of her public service. Granger, who will retire at the end of her term, has not sought re-election and plans to be succeeded by Craig Goldman. Her situation has raised concerns regarding her health and ability to fulfill her congressional duties.
