5 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 4 of them counted toward the score above: 4 toward “Free trade” and 0 toward “Protectionist”.

The other 1 did not count: 1 was a roll call 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.
