Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1963 to Dec 1970, Foreman missed 110 of 674 roll call votes, which is 16.3%. This is much worse than the median of 8.5% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 1970. 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.
