Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Oct 1803 to Jan 1804, Bailey missed 4 of 38 roll call votes, which is 10.5%. This is on par with the median of 10.8% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jan 1804. 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.
