As an educator for over 20 years, Davis mentored thousands of students as they completed their studies.
As a veteran, Congressman Davis continued his commitment to public service by becoming the youngest Mayor of Snow Hill at age 29, where he served seven years. In 2008, Congressman Davis was elected to the North Carolina State Senate, serving 12 years.
