119th Congress · before filters: 676 recorded entries · 13 labeled “not voting”.
Recorded “not voting” accounts for 1.9% of this member’s 676 recorded entries in the 119th Congress. Review “not voting” entries.
Counts and this share cover the selected Congress before all filters. The share is “not voting” entries divided by recorded entries, rounded to one decimal place. This is not an attendance rate: missing entries are not counted, and voting eligibility varies by office and service period. “Not voting” is the source’s label; it gives no reason for nonparticipation. Recorded entries also include yes/no, present and named choices.

Official recorded floor roll calls in the selected Congress. Voice votes, unanimous consent and committee votes are excluded. Only entries explicitly listing this member are included; missing entries are not missed votes. Retrieval dates describe source inventory checks; individual roll-call records may be retained from earlier captures.
Delegates and the resident commissioner do not vote on final House floor passage. A member who had not yet taken office, had left office, or was not eligible is not assigned a missed vote. Zero entries can reflect no eligible service.

Subtotals sum covered non-memo records, including signed corrections. Rapid notices and electioneering disclosures have no aggregate because they can overlap other records or mention multiple candidates. Spending supporting this person is distinct from spending opposing an opponent, which appears on the opponent’s profile when covered.
Disclosed itemized contributions to authorized campaign committees, including earmarked and memo attribution records. This FEC file is a subset of reported contributions; unitemized donors are not identified. Records are not unique people and must not be added together as net donations.
