Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1963 to Oct 1966, Sickles missed 46 of 625 roll call votes, which is 7.4%. This is on par with the median of 7.4% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Oct 1966. 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.
