Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1937 to Aug 1940, Lundeen missed 76 of 416 roll call votes, which is 18.3%. This is on par with the median of 17.7% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Aug 1940. 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.
