Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1933 to Jan 1951, Wadsworth missed 228 of 1,716 roll call votes, which is 13.3%. This is much worse than the median of 3.3% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Jan 1951. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
