From Dec 1923 to Mar 1925, Lilly missed 59 of 179 roll call votes, which is 33.0%. This is much worse than the median of 19.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1925. 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.
