Not a left/right axis — both parties split on this issue.

108 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 52 of them counted toward the score above: 28 toward “Free trade” and 24 toward “Protectionist”.

The other 56 did not count: 54 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 2 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.
