And likes what it sees: Election 2006: No to Staying the Course on Trade (Nov 8).
From a longer report, with detailed seat-by-seat analysis:
100% Fair Trade Candidates Up For Re-Election 100% Re-Elected: The Politically Smart Long Term Investment in Good Trade Policy
Ten incumbent members of Congress voted the fair trade position 100 percent of the time, and each of these – which include 8 Democrats, 1 Republican, and 1 Independent – were handily re-elected or promoted with wide victory margins. (Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is the only senator with an 100 percent fair trade record, and he did not face re-election this year.)
Here’s our Fair Trade Hall of Fame.
Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Ohio’s senator-elect – 12 point margin
Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) – 26 point margin
Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.) – 24 point margin
Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Ill.) – 77 point margin
Walter Jones (R-N.C.) – 38 point margin
Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) – 48 point margin
Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) – 60 point margin
Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) – 32 point margin
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), now Vt.’s senator-elect – 33 point margin
Ted Strickland (D-Ohio), now Ohio’s governor-elect – 23 point margin
