Main article:2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois § District 13

On May 19, 2012, the Republican County Chairmen for the 14 Illinois counties the 13th district comprises nominated Davis as the Republican candidate for Congress. This district had previously been the 15th, represented by six-term incumbent RepublicanTim Johnson.Johnson had announced in April that he would not seek reelection, just days after winning the Republican primary. Other finalists for the nomination were Jerry Clarke, chief of staff to fellow U.S. RepresentativeRandy Hultgrenand Johnson's former chief of staff;Erika Harold,a lawyer and winner ofMiss Americain 2003; and Kathy Wassink, a businesswoman.[7]Davis was coaching his sons' little league baseball game when he was informed that he had been nominated.[8]His home in Taylorville had previously been in Shimkus's 19th District (which had been renumbered as the 15th). But the new 13th had absorbed much of the old 19th's northern portion, including Taylorville.

In the general election, Davis defeated Democratic nomineeDavid M. Gillby 1,002 votes (0.3%). Independent candidate John Hartman received around 21,000 votes (7.2%).[9]

The Republican field included Davis, Harold, andMichael Firsching.[11]Davis won the primary with 55% of the vote.[11]

Davis faced Democratic nomineeAnn Callisin the November 4 general election.[12]He was reportedly a top target for theDemocrats[13]but won with 59% of the vote.[14][15]

2016

edit
Main article:2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois § District 13

Davis was reelected in 2016, defeating Ethan Vandersand in the primary and Democratic nomineeMark Wicklundand independent David Gill in the general election.[16]He received 59.7% of the vote.[17]

2018

edit
Main article:2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois § District 13

On March 20, 2018, Betsy Londrigan won the Democratic primary in District 13 with over 45% of the vote, beating Erik Jones, David Gill, Jonathan Ebel, and Angel Sides.[18]

In May 2018, theAmerican Federation of Government Employeesendorsed Davis for reelection. AFGE District 7 National Vice President Dorothy James said, "We hope that Representative Davis will continue his good work on Capitol Hill for years to come and are happy to announce our support for him today."[19]

On November 6, Davis was reelected, 50.4% to 49.6%. He lost the district's shares ofChampaign,McLean,andSangamonCounties, but carriedChristianandMaconCounties. His margins in both far exceeded his overall margin of 2,058 votes.[20]

During a debate, Davis said thatThe Washington Postfact-checker had found Londrigan's claims about the impact of Obamacare's repeal on preexisting conditions to be false.The Washington Postfact-checker responded, "Republicans are twisting an unrelated fact check and are misleading voters."[21]

2020

edit
Main article:2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois § District 13

Davis ran for a fifth term and was unopposed in the Republican primary. Londrigan ran again, and easily won the Democratic primary. Although most forecasters considered the race a tossup due to the close margin in 2018, Davis won reelection by 9 points.[22]His larger margin of victory was attributed to both an increase in turnout from the district's Republican-leaning rural counties, and a decrease in the district's college campuses. Londrigan attempted to tie Davis to President Trump, and he linked her to Illinois House Speaker and state Democratic Party chairMike Madigan,who was broadly unpopular.[citation needed]

Trump's2020 presidential campaignnamed Davis one of four "honorary state chairs."[23]

2022

edit
Main article:2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois § District 15

After the2020 United States census,new congressional maps were drawn, eliminating Republican-leaning districts. Davis' old district was made significantly more Democratic by adding most of the core ofMetro-East,the Illinois side of the St. Louis area. At the same time, his home in Taylorville was drawn back into the 15th district, represented by Shimkus' successor,Mary Miller.Although Davis' home was drawn into the district while Miller's home was drawn just outside of it, Miller handily defeated Davis in the Republican primary.[24][25]

Tenure

edit

On June 14, 2017, Davis was one of several Republicans who were practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, when a gunman opened fire, attempting to assassinate Republican members of Congress. RepresentativeSteve Scaliseand several others were injured, but due to the heroic actions of Capitol Police Officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner and the Alexandria Police Department, no members of Congress died that day. Since the shooting, Davis has made it his mission to promote more civility in politics.[26]

Since 2019, the Lugar Center and Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy’s Bipartisan Index has rated Davis the most bipartisan member of Congress from Illinois. For the First Session (2021) of the 117th Congress, he was rated the 22nd most bipartisan member of Congress nationwide. In the 116th Congress (2019-2020), he was rated the 14th most bipartisan member of Congress nationwide.[27]

Davis introduced theHire More Heroes Act of 2013into the House on November 13, 2013. The bill would allow employers to exclude veterans receiving health insurance from theUnited States Department of Defenseor theUnited States Department of Veterans' Affairsfrom their list of employees.[28][29]This would have kept their list of employees shorter, allowing some small businesses to fall underneath the 50 full-time employees line that wouldrequire them to provide their employees with healthcareunder theAffordable Care Act.[29][30]Davis said that the bill "gives our small businesses another incentive to hire veterans, which helps to address the increasing number of unemployed veterans, while providing them with some relief from Obamacare."[30]

Davis voted to repeal theAffordable Care Act.[31]He voted to reauthorize theViolence Against Women Act.[32]

Davis voted for H.J.Res.59 – Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2014, which resulted in thegovernment shutdown of 2013.[33]After the vote,Politicoreported that Davis also intended to vote for a bill that would end the shutdown, stressing that an agreement needed to be made and that "Like most of those I represent, I remain opposed to Obamacare, but a government shutdown is absolutely unacceptable."[34][35][36][37]

Davis voted to lift a ban on travel toCuba.[38]In June 2016, he cast the deciding vote on a bill to continue to allow undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children to join the U.S. military. The program would give those who serve a quicker pathway to citizenship.[38]

On May 4, 2017, Davis voted again to repeal the Affordable Care Act and pass theAmerican Health Care Act (AHCA).[42][43]

Davis voted for theTax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.[44]He said the bill would improve the economy without increasing the deficit, and that Americans would see "more money in the pockets" by February 2018 as a result of the bill.[45]

In June 2018, Davis said, "we've got to stop this politicizing everything like dinner", adding, "Donald Trump was elected, in my opinion, because of this move toward making everything politically correct in this country."[46]

On January 6, 2021, Davis was at the U.S. Capitol to certify theElectoral College vote countwhen Trump supportersstormed the building.Davis and his staff went into hiding under police lockdown for over four hours during the attack.[48]After the Capitol was secure and Congress resumed session, Davis certified the election without objection.[49]As a result of the attack, Trump wasimpeached a second time.Davis voted against impeachment, saying, "there must be accountability for leaders who deliberately misled the public, but I fear that without thoughtful and clear-eyed leadership from both sides of the aisle, we are in danger of further violence and political unrest."[50]In the wake of the attack, Davis objected to metal detectors which were placed outside the House chamber.[51][52]

On May 19, 2021, Davis was one of 35 Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to approve legislation to establish theJanuary 6 commissionmeant to investigate the storming of the U.S. Capitol.[53]

In July 2021, Davis was among five Republicans Minority LeaderKevin McCarthyselected to serve on theSelect Committee on the January 6 Attack on the Capitol.After SpeakerNancy Pelosirejected two of the selections, McCarthy pulled all five, including Davis.[54][55]

In November 2021, Davis voted against censuringPaul Gosar,a House member who had shared an animated video of himself killing a fellow member of Congress and assaulting the president.
