A source familiar with the congresswoman’s situation told CNN that she moved into an independent living facility to downsize and prepare for the future. This person added that if the congresswoman had known she would be unable to vote in the final six weeks of the 118th Congress, there would have been different preparations.
Granger last voted on the House floor
on July 24, according to a CNN review of her voting record. Granger last year announced she would
not seek reelection and this spring stepped down as chair of the influential House Appropriations Committee. She did not vote in the recent package to prevent a government shutdown.
“As I announce my decision to not seek re-election, I am encouraged by the next generation of leaders in my district. It’s time for the next generation to step up and take the mantle and be a strong and fierce representative for the people,” Granger said in a statement in November 2023.
