Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1913 to Mar 1929, Casey missed 425 of 1,028 roll call votes, which is 41.3%. This is much worse than the median of 16.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1929. 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.
