Turns out U.S. Rep. Jared Polis has a lousy record over the history of his congressional career for missing votes, and it got even worse after he started running for governor.
How bad? He missed nearly 67 percent of all votes during the primary campaign.
Over his career, Polis has missed 5.5 percent of House votes. That might not seem like a high number, but according to Colorado Politics, the average absentee rate is only 2.4 percent.
Ouch.
To see what a strong voting record looks like, we compared U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman’s and Polis’s 2014 absentee record.
Coffman missed 0.7 percent of House votes, while Polis missed 8.9 percent of votes cast.
Polis had the 34th highest absentee voting record out of 441 House members.
...
But if he’s missing that many House floor votes, the odds are good he’s also skipping a boat-load of committee hearings.
One source familiar with high profile hearings held by the Natural Resources Committee when Polis was on the panel in 2015 and 2016, said they don’t recall seeing Polis up on the dais very often.
...
Unfortunately for Polis, Missing votes on the House floor is widely documented, and his record is abysmal.

I hope he’s been shopping for a new house in Venezuela.
The ads out right now are pretty darn good. 100% lies, but it you're a low information voter you might believe them.
Missing in action from his current elected office, to seek another?
Since he’s a good Democrat nothing critical will be said.
When you have no ability to judge, and are ruled by poles, you do not vote. Hmmm, sounds a lot like a certain Muslim eunuch quota boy that was president. Like (lack of) ability, like performance.
Must be a RAT. His party affiliation is not mentioned in first

He will be our next Guv.
The liberal idiots in the Denver suburbs and Boulder decide elections here.
A gay billionaire Rat from CA who came to CO to buy a House seat.

The Republican Party isn’t the bright bulb in the package here either!
My bad. I didn’t mean to overstate his worth.
And, them was tasty lobsters that we caught running around.
