2020 House elections: on Free Trade
Annie Kuster:
For USMCA trade deal after labor, environmental additions
Both of New Hampshire's members of the House, Annie Kuster and Chris Pappas, backed the USMCA when the House overwhelmingly approved the measure. Pappas called the deal "a major step forward for our workers, farmers, businesses and economy"
and also stressed the labor, environmental protection and drug-pricing provisions backed by Democrats. He said the agreement "will provide New Hampshire businesses with the predictability they need to thrive and grow."
"Cross-border trade is essential to the health of New Hampshire's economy, as so many businesses rely on exporting goods and services to Canada and Mexico," said
Kuster after her vote, although she added that she "would have liked to see more robust language to address climate change and reduce carbon pollution across North America."

Ben McAdams:
Long overdue to stand up to China's abusive trade practices
Q: Which are the policies of President Trump's that you think are good?McAdams: I'm happy that he's taken on China. I think we were long overdue to stand up to some of the abusive trade practices.
American companies have not been treated fairly by Chinese companies. And I hear it all the time. That's a stance that he's taken that I support.

Jared Golden:
Voted against USMCA trade pacts as no benefit to Maine
The agreement, billed as a replacement to the North American Free Trade Agreement, passed the House of Representatives in December by a vote of 385-41. Maine's two Democratic representatives, Chellie Pingree of the 1st District and
Jared Golden of the 2nd District--both of whom have been politically allied with unions--bucked party leaders to oppose the agreement, saying it would not benefit Maine workers.

Michelle Fischbach:
Yes to Trump's US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement
While Rep. Max Rose joined a partisan effort to undermine President Trump's United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement, Nicole led the effort in the State Assembly to build public support for the USMCA which will benefit American businesses, workers
and consumers. In 2018, New York sent over $17 billion in exports to Canada and Mexico and the USMCA will increase economic activity and job creation in the shipping and container port industry on Staten Island and in South Brooklyn.

Randy Feenstra:
For trade deals that will lead to new markets for farmers
The first thing we need to do is continue making progress on improving trade deals that open up new markets and allow for more significant exports to traditional partners.
Second, we need to continue supporting Iowa's biofuel producers, an area where we've made great progress recently, but where there's still more to do.
