Member Spotlight

Featured: Sen. Porter J. McCumber (R-ND), co-author of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff, was a key figure in shaping early twentieth-century American trade and economic policy. Born in 1858, he served in the Senate from 1899 to 1923, where he became known for his expertise in finance and agriculture. McCumber worked to protect domestic industries and farmers through high tariff rates, reflecting the Republican Party’s protectionist stance of the era. Though his policies were later criticized for contributing to international economic tensions, his legislative influence helped define U.S. trade policy during the post–World War I period.
