Jim McDermott on Trade
DemocratWA
Not a left/right axis — both parties split on this issue.
202 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 130 of them counted toward the score above: 89 toward “Free trade” and 41 toward “Protectionist”.
The other 72 did not count: 69 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.
