Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1913 to Feb 1913, Johnston missed 31 of 43 roll call votes, which is 72.1%. This is much worse than the median of 29.5% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Feb 1913. 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.
