There are some well known Democratic politicians currently in office who oppose the Trans Pacific Partnership, most notably Elizabeth Warren, Rosa DiLauro, and Martin O'Malley, even though Obama and much of the party supports it. Are there any Republican politicians who oppose the TPP? Even certain Republicans who normally are very critical of Obama, such as Ted Cruz, support it. There are Republicans who oppose the TPP, but they to my knowledge either no longer hold office (Allen West, Ron Paul) or never held office (Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Phyllis Schlafly). Are there any Republicans currently in Congress who oppose the TPP?

I don't know if they've changed their minds, but at one time Dana Roharbacher, Duncan Hunter and Louie Gohmert were against it.

Rohrabacher is a genuine maverick (not a pseudomaverick like McCain), who generally does what he thinks is right in office rather than what's popular, so I'm not surprised he's against it.

After doing some Googling it looks like most of the signees of that letter still oppose the TPP, at least those still in office.

So there are a few Republicans who oppose it.
