Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jun 1956 to Jul 1956, Humphreys missed 7 of 47 roll call votes, which is 14.9%. This is much worse than the median of 6.4% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jul 1956. 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.
