Missed Votes
Voting Attendance Record
Period: January 3, 2023 – July 21, 2026
| Total roll call votes eligible | 1,875 |
| Missed votes | 66 |
| Missed vote rate | 3.5% |
| Median for currently serving representatives | 2.1% |
Langworthy’s 3.5% missed-vote rate is worse than the 2.1% median among the lifetime records of representatives currently serving.
But that headline number is misleading on its own, and the rest of this page explains why.
The Finding: One Quarter Accounts for More Than Half of It
35 of his 66 missed votes — 53% — fall in a single quarter, April through June 2024.
Remove that one quarter and his record looks entirely different:
| Missed | Eligible | Rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full record | 66 | 1,875 | 3.5% |
| Excluding Apr–Jun 2024 | 31 | 1,644 | 1.9% |
| House median | 2.1% |
In plain language: outside of one stretch in spring 2024, Langworthy’s attendance is better than the median representative’s. He is not a chronic absentee. He had one concentrated episode.
Year by year makes the same point:
| Year | Missed | Eligible | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 11 | 724 | 1.5% |
| 2024 | 45 | 517 | 8.7% |
| 2025 | 6 | 362 | 1.7% |
| 2026 (through Jul. 21) | 4 | 272 | 1.5% |

The Spring 2024 Episode, Day by Day
We pulled every 2024 roll call from the House Clerk’s electronic voting records and matched Langworthy’s vote (bioguide ID L000600) to each. All 35 missed votes in the April–June quarter fall on just eight days:
| Date | Votes held | Missed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apr. 9 | 2 | 2 | entire day |
| Apr. 17 | 6 | 6 | entire day |
| Apr. 18 | 1 | 1 | entire day |
| Apr. 29 | 2 | 2 | entire day |
| Apr. 30 | 17 | 17 | entire day |
| May 1 | 5 | 5 | entire day |
| May 7 | 8 | 1 | partial |
| Jun. 26 | 14 | 1 | partial |
| Total | 35 |
Six of those eight are complete absences — he missed every vote held that day. April 30 alone accounts for 17 missed votes, the single largest day in his record.
Why this distinction matters. Because the absences are whole-day rather than scattered, no individual missed vote can fairly be read as a decision to duck a particular bill. This bears directly on one claim that circulates: that he deliberately sat out the Antisemitism Awareness Act (H.R. 6090) on May 1, 2024. He missed all five votes that day, and the two session days before it. It was an absence, not an abstention.
We do not know why he was absent, and we are not going to guess. GovTrack, the source of the aggregate figures, states plainly that it does not track reasons, and notes that common explanations include medical absences, major life events, and running for higher office. Langworthy has not publicly explained these dates, and we located no reporting that asked him.
One thing we can rule out: his sponsored trip to Israel, April 1–8, 2024, did not cause any missed votes. The House held no roll call votes between March 22 and April 9, 2024 — the trip fell entirely within a period when the House was not voting.
Why This Matters
Each missed vote means NY-23 had no recorded position on that question. Some absences are unavoidable, and an overall record of 3.5% still means he voted on more than 96% of questions put to the House.
The fair summary is this: his attendance is ordinary-to-good in three of his four years, and there is one unexplained stretch in spring 2024 during which he missed 35 votes, including every vote on six separate days. That stretch is the entire reason his career average sits above the House median.
Correction
July 25, 2026. This page previously reported figures that were incorrect in several places, and they have been replaced in full.
- The quarterly table listed vote counts that did not match the underlying source, and its own missed-vote column summed to 69 while the page’s header said 66.
- The page reported a “Late 2024 Spike” of 8.2–8.9% missed votes for July through December 2024, and attributed it to “the general election campaign.” No such spike occurred. The actual figures are 0.8% for July–September and 0.0% for November–December 2024, among the best quarters in his record.
- The page attributed the April–June 2024 absences to “primary campaign season.” That was speculation about a cause we cannot document, and it has been removed. This site does not speculate about why votes are missed.
- Headline figures were updated from 3.7% of 1,794 votes (through May 23, 2026) to 3.5% of 1,875 (through July 21, 2026), and the comparison median from 2.0% to 2.1%.
The 66 missed-vote total was correct and did not change. The errors were in the distribution, the fabricated late-2024 pattern, and the causal claims.
