Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) has not cast a vote since July despite the House of Representatives holding many important votes in that time, spurring speculation as to where she has been.

Granger, 81, who is retiring at the end of this Congress after serving since 1997, was last seen on Capitol Hill in November during the unveiling of a portrait in her honor for the House Appropriations Committee. About a month later, she did not vote on the pivotal spending bill to keep the government open, and citizens in her district wondered why that was.
