Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1926 to Feb 1933, Hawes missed 331 of 954 roll call votes, which is 34.7%. This is much worse than the median of 22.5% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Feb 1933. 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.
