Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1889 to Mar 1893, Cheatham missed 483 of 891 roll call votes, which is 54.2%. This is much worse than the median of 34.2% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1893. 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.
