Al Lawson, Jr. on Trade
DemocratFL
Not a left/right axis — both parties split on this issue.
25 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 11 of them counted toward the score above: 5 toward “Free trade” and 6 toward “Protectionist”.
The other 14 did not count: 14 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 0 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.
