James Johnston Blanchard on Trade
DemocratMI
Not a left/right axis — both parties split on this issue.
102 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 63 of them counted toward the score above: 44 toward “Free trade” and 19 toward “Protectionist”.
The other 39 did not count: 30 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 9 were ones they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
