A Republican Congresswoman who has been “missing” for the past six months has finally been found.

Rep. Kay Granger has served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.

However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye around July this year, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.

A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.
[…]

We then received a tip from a Granger constituent who shared that the Congresswoman has been residing at a local memory care and assisted living home for some time after having been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.

The Dallas Express team visited the facility to confirm whether Granger was residing there and to inquire about how she planned to vote on the spending bill. Upon arrival, two employees confirmed that Granger is indeed living at the facility.

Sorry, American CEO Musk will have eliminated that unnecessary office by then.

And really, it wasn’t generating very good revenue for the shareholders any more. The board suggested going in a new direction.

People from her office absolutely knew where she was, they just didn’t bother telling anybody else.

She is in Congress, not the Senate - so there’s a couple hundred more of them in general, and not all of them turn up to work every day… so it’s not hard to lose one for 6 months and not notice.

Especially when they’re Republicans, since they do sweet fuck all most days anyway.

She apparently did make at least one appearance during the sixth months for whatever that’s worth (sourced from her Wikipedia page)
