Voting Record

Missed Votes

From May 1813 to Mar 1815, Hasbrouck missed 76 of 352 roll call votes, which is 21.6%. This is on par with the median of 18.4% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1815. The chart below reports missed votes over time.

We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
