Senator, New York · 1927–1949

Robert F. Wagner

The National Labor Relations Act carries his name. A New Deal Democrat who built the modern labor law.

Robert F. Wagner is on the former-members chart, not the current Congress. The office on file is Senator, New York, 1927–1949. The placement note is: The National Labor Relations Act carries his name. A New Deal Democrat who built the modern labor law.

The dot is economics -36 and authority +8. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits near the middle. Former members are placed from the public career, not from a 119th Congress Voteview score.

No separate “said, then did” note is on file. The career sentence above is the whole of the written placement. It names the public fact the dot is built from, and it stops there.

The nearest other former members on these two numbers are Tip O’Neill (-36 / +6) and Claude Pepper (-28 / +4). Nearness is not a school of thought.

This page does not add votes that are not in the placement note. The bills themselves are in the Congressional Record for those years.
