FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Longtime Republican U.S. Rep. Kay Granger of Texas is suffering from “unforeseen health issues” and is in the final months of her more than 20 years as a lawmaker. The situation has worsened, his office announced Monday.
Granger, 81, hasn’t voted in Washington since July. “Over the past year, we have overcome unexpected health challenges,” Granger said in a statement released by his office, without providing further details.
