WBCN - 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 yea...
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. The reporter, Carlos Turcios, began by contacting her offices, from which they went directly to voicemail.
“I am sorry we are unable to answer your phone right now,” Granger said. “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 reporter then went to her constituency office only to find absolutely no signs of life or activity. Seemingly at a dead end, Turcios then received a tip-off from a local resident that Granger was residing at an assisted living facility specializing in memory care.
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.
However, we were not permitted to conduct an interview regarding the current spending debate in the House of Representatives and how or if Ms. Granger planned to vote.
Taylor Manziel who is the Assistant Executive Director for the senior living facility acknowledged to The Dallas Express that “This is her home.”
It remains unclear why Granger’s relatives or staff declined to disclose her condition to the public...
Among those to express their displeasure at the situation was State Republican Executive Committeeman Rolando Garcia, who described it as a “sad and humiliating way to end her political career.”
