Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1891 to Mar 1911, Hull missed 929 of 2,088 roll call votes, which is 44.5%. This is much worse than the median of 26.8% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1911. 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.
