Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1894 to Jan 1895, Jarvis missed 68 of 336 roll call votes, which is 20.2%. This is better than the median of 34.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jan 1895. 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.
