Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1820 to Mar 1825, Lanman missed 41 of 389 roll call votes, which is 10.5%. This is on par with the median of 10.7% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1825. 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.
