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

118 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Trade. 41 of them counted toward the score above: 20 toward “Free trade” and 21 toward “Protectionist”.

The other 77 did not count: 75 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.
