Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1933 to Aug 1946, Kopplemann missed 106 of 895 roll call votes, which is 11.8%. This is much worse than the median of 4.4% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Aug 1946. 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.
