From Jan 1937 to Nov 1942, Cluett missed 97 of 536 roll call votes, which is 18.1%. This is much worse than the median of 6.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Nov 1942. 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.
