Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Dec 1887 to Mar 1895, Cogswell missed 728 of 1,584 roll call votes, which is 46.0%. This is worse than the median of 37.3% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 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.
