Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1913 to Mar 1925, Rogers missed 299 of 1,584 roll call votes, which is 18.9%. This is on par with the median of 19.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1925. 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.
