Jimmy Fondren completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Fondren's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I support lowering taxes and eliminating the state income tax. In recent years, Mississippi voters have increasingly supported eliminating the state income tax. I support getting this done. I want to work to find creative solutions and ways to replace the revenue that the state income tax provides in order for the state legislature to eliminate it wholly.
- I want to work hard to ensure conservative values are protected in our state. Mississippi is a state that prides itself on maintaining conservative social, political, and monetary policies. I want to continue District 111's strong conservative presence in our state legislature.
- I strongly support our law enforcement officers and all first responders. First responders are the people that dedicate their lives to serving the community and are the reason why we are able to live in a safe society. I will always support law enforcement officers and all first responders.
I feel that maintaining our conservative values as a state should be a priority of our state legislature.

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.
