Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1857 to Mar 1875, Johnson missed 240 of 1,529 roll call votes, which is 15.7%. This is better than the median of 31.2% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1875. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
