Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1885 to Mar 1907, Hermann missed 822 of 2,275 roll call votes, which is 36.1%. This is on par with the median of 30.1% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1907. 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.
