Johnson was among more than 1,800 legislators who enslaved Black people. The Washington Post compiled the first database of slaveholding members of Congress by examining thousands of pages of census records and historical documents. Johnson was one of them.

Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Mar 1820 to Mar 1827, Johnson missed 68 of 400 roll call votes, which is 17.0%. This is on par with the median of 16.1% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1827. 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.
