Voting Record
Missed Votes
From May 1813 to Mar 1829, Ingham missed 342 of 991 roll call votes, which is 34.5%. This is much worse than the median of 16.2% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1829. 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.
