Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1881 to Dec 1908, Brumm missed 1,033 of 1,965 roll call votes, which is 52.6%. This is much worse than the median of 30.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 1908. 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.
