From Jan 2007 to Dec 2010, Wilson missed 188 of 3,531 roll call votes, which is 5.3%. This is worse than the median of 3.1% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 2010. 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.
