Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1925 to Mar 1931, Gillett missed 402 of 863 roll call votes, which is 46.6%. This is much worse than the median of 22.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1931. 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.
