Congressman Brad Sherman

Representing the 32nd District of California

Trade

  

 

Washington’s trade policy in the past few decades has failed the American middle class and industrial base. For far too long, we have seen the U.S. export jobs rather than products.

 

We need balanced trade. That is why I have opposed NAFTA, CAFTA, MFN for China, TPP and a host of bad trade deals we have adopted over the last 20 years.
