Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) capped a year of public discontent over older political leaders clinging to power even in the face of glaring health concerns that people on both sides of the aisle believe signal a need for change.

Last week the Dallas Express reported that the Texas congresswoman had been found at a memory care unit and assisted living home, based on a tip from a constituent. Granger’s son, Brandon Granger, told the New York Post his mother made her own decision to move into the retirement community, though she has since shown signs of dementia over the past three months.
