From Dec 1901 to Mar 1903, Henry missed 133 of 183 roll call votes, which is 72.7%. This is much worse than the median of 31.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1903. 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.
