47 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 25 of them counted toward the score above: 15 toward “Free trade” and 10 toward “Protectionist”.

The other 22 did not count: 19 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 3 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.
