Jaclyn Zimmermann completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Zimmermann's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am a strong advocate for education, women's reproductive rights, and common sense gun legislation. My children currently attend public schools, so I know firsthand the difficulties public schools are facing in Missouri, including low teacher pay. I am a strong advocate for public education, and I want to strengthen the public school system in Missouri, not weaken it.
- As a woman, reproductive rights are very important to me, and I will work hard to make sure that Missouri women have control over their own reproductive health. Missourians have had enough of the government inserting itself into the private decisions between a woman, her family, and her doctor. Further, I am a proponent of every Missouri having access to affordable healthcare.
- Growing up in rural Missouri, I understand that responsible gun ownership is a cornerstone of our country and state. But at the same time, I know that common-sense gun laws are needed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, and to keep guns out of schools so our children are safe.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
