Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1921 to Jul 1930, Hammer missed 115 of 797 roll call votes, which is 14.4%. This is on par with the median of 17.8% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Jul 1930. 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.
