Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Dec 1881 to Jan 1899, Dingley missed 1,066 of 2,890 roll call votes, which is 36.9%. This is on par with the median of 34.5% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Jan 1899. 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.
