Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1921 to Mar 1923, Gensman missed 63 of 362 roll call votes, which is 17.4%. This is better than the median of 27.3% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1923. 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.
