HuffPost
Following a 5-month absence from the House, Granger's family confirmed she was dealing with dementia.
After nearly five months without casting a vote, the case of absentee congresswoman Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) appears to have been solved.
In an investigation published on Friday, The Dallas Express revealed that it had found that the outgoing legislator was living at an assisted living home in Fort Worth, Texas.
The paper made its discovery while trying to track down Granger, 81, to learn how she was voting on a contentious stop-gap spending bill which had put factions of the Republican party at odds with one another.
Granger has represented Texas’ 12th Congressional District since 1997 and is set to retire from her role at the end of this term.
Looking into the congressional roll call, the outlet found that the former mayor of Fort Worth’s last vote in Washington, D.C., was on July 24.
