Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1895 to Dec 1903, McClellan missed 157 of 687 roll call votes, which is 22.9%. This is better than the median of 29.3% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 1903. 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.
