Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno achieved a rare milestone during his freshman year in Washington, never missing a single opportunity to cast a ballot during an unusually demanding legislative session. A comprehensive review of congressional attendance revealed that Moreno was one of just two U.S. senators to maintain a flawless voting record in 2025, a feat made difficult by the sheer volume of 659 roll call votes that year.

Why it matters

Maintaining a perfect voting record in the U.S. Senate is an impressive accomplishment, as it requires lawmakers to successfully navigate travel schedules, overlapping committee hearings, and the unpredictable timing of floor votes without a single absence. This achievement could serve as an early highlight for Moreno's freshman term and demonstrate his commitment to his constituents.

The details

According to an analysis of Senate voting data compiled by Roll Call's Lillianna Byington, the chamber held 659 roll call votes in 2025, the second-highest number in Senate history. Only two lawmakers were present for all 659 roll call votes: GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Moreno of Ohio.

  • The 2025 legislative session featured the second-highest number of roll call votes in Senate history.
