Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jun 1795 to Mar 1803, Mason missed 96 of 496 roll call votes, which is 19.4%. This is on par with the median of 14.3% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1803. 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.
