A new analysis reveals which members of the current U.S. Congress have missed the most votes, and Brian Schatz is high on the Senate list.

The Hawaii Democrat, who has been in office since late December 2012, skipped 50 out of 732 votes.

That places Schatz at the No. 3 mark in terms of who missed the most Senate votes. Only Marco Rubio of Florida and Jerry Moran of Kansas — they are both Republicans — had a higher “no-score.”

To help explain the absences, the report points out that Hawaii is “a long distance from the nation’s capital.”

But there was another big reason — his tight 2012 race against U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa.

“The vast majority of the missed votes occurred during late June and July 2014 when Senator Schatz returned to Hawaii before the Aug. 9, 2014, primary election,” said Andy Winer, Schatz’s chief of staff. “During that period, Senator Schatz participated in five debates and forums that allowed Hawaii voters to be well informed before casting their ballots.”

By Winer’s count, 41 of those 50 missed votes happened because of the campaign. He also says Schatz cast 733 votes, which is one more than the 732 cited in the news report.

In the House of Representatives, by the way, the No. 1 absentee was John Conyers (D-Mich.), who “skipped out on voting about 16.3 percent of the time.” Conyers has been serving since 1965.

Don Young (R-Alaska) is not far behind Conyers, “with an abstain-rate of about 14.8 percent.” Of course, he lives far aware from D.C., too.
