Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1912 to Mar 1917, Catron missed 604 of 1,245 roll call votes, which is 48.5%. This is much worse than the median of 32.0% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1917. 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.
