Filed with the FEC, no race in our files: 2026 US Senate, MI.

This is the record in our results files, FEC candidate lists and DIME, not a complete career. Results for other offices, earlier years and most primaries can be missing. A general that went to a runoff counts as neither a win nor a loss. Some races are matched to this person by name and seat, not by an ID, so one could belong to someone with the same name.

How these are counted

Missed is Not Voting divided by every roll call the member was listed on, including quorum calls and procedural votes. It covers any absence, including illness and leave.

Party split: a roll call counts when the Democratic majority and the Republican majority voted opposite ways. That was 824 roll calls, and the member matched their own party on 780. We pick no votes ourselves.

Senate votes come from Voteview. Lewis, Jeffrey B., Keith Poole, Howard Rosenthal, Adam Boche, Aaron Rudkin, and Luke Sonnet (2026). Voteview: Congressional Roll-Call Votes Database. https://voteview.com/
