Bennie G. Thompson
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide T000193.
Bennie G. Thompson is the Democrat representative for the House from MS, district 2 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is -0.520, drawn as economics -52. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.389, drawn as authority +39. The other axis sits toward authority. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 22 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Marilyn Strickland (Democrat, -0.443), Sean Casten (Democrat, -0.625), Donald Norcross (Democrat, -0.421). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://benniethompson.house.gov), under “Appropriations,” says: “I am proud to request funding for the following Community Projects – which will benefit the diverse communities in my congressional district…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Bennie G. Thompson would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide T000193.
