Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1925 to Aug 1939, McMillan missed 204 of 1,013 roll call votes, which is 20.1%. This is much worse than the median of 7.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Aug 1939. 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.
