From Dec 1894 to Mar 1903, Bromwell missed 222 of 725 roll call votes, which is 30.6%. This is on par with the median of 31.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 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.
