From Oct 1807 to Mar 1829, Culpepper missed 122 of 1,174 roll call votes, which is 10.4%. This is better than the median of 16.2% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1829. 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.
