Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1836 to Mar 1837, Dana missed 94 of 190 roll call votes, which is 49.5%. This is much worse than the median of 19.1% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1837. 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.
