Official Profile
Religion: NO EVIDENCE FOUND (Regent University J.D. noted but no stated denomination on official bio)
Background: Virginia House of Delegates, District 39 (Franklin County + part of Roanoke County); first elected Nov 2023, took office Jan 2024, re-elected Nov 2025. Attorney with his own firm; Bridgewater College (B.A. Economics), Regent University (J.D.). Serves on Courts of Justice and Finance committees.
VA Delegate, HD-39 (Franklin County/Roanoke); seated Jan 2024, re-elected Nov 2025. [2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, state tier; LIS roll-call records] Consistent conservative HARD record: voted NO on the reproductive-freedom constitutional amendment both years (HJ1/SJ247 2025, HJ1/SJ1 2026); graded F/'Extremist' by ReproRising 2025. Voted NO on the same-sex-marriage constitutional amendment every reference — 2026 HJ3 confirmed against the full name roll call as 'N' (his summary record's 'X' was an endpoint artifact). Voted NO on the 2025-26 gun-control slate (assault-weapons/magazine ban HB1607, red-flag/substantial-risk orders, waiting period). Chief-patroned tough-on-crime bills: HB2015 (mandatory-minimum for repeat firearms offenses) and HB2310 (penalty for exposing genitals to a child, became law); chief-patroned HJ457 (motor-vehicle personal-property-tax-exemption amendment). Voted NO on the felon-voting/voter-qualifications amendment and automatic voter registration. Election-cell specifics, border, marriage q2/q4, and christian-liberty left null (no on-point roll call).
Category Breakdown
Candidate affirms life begins at conception and personhood from conception
1 claim
Voted NO on Virginia's Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment (HJR 1, 2026) — a proposed constitutional amendment that would enshrine a near-unlimited right to abortion in the Virginia Constitution, covering all matters related to pregnancy with no gestational limit unless justified by a compelling state interest. The measure passed the House 64-34 on a strict party-line vote; Davis cast one of 34 Republican 'no' votes defending the unborn against constitutionally entrenched abortion-on-demand in Virginia.

1 claim
Voted NO on HB 217 (Virginia's 2026 assault-weapons ban) and the broader gun-control package that passed the House 58-34 on a strict party-line vote. The legislation — the most expansive firearms restriction in Virginia's modern legislative history — banned the sale and manufacture of assault-style rifles, restricted magazine capacity, and imposed new storage mandates. NRA-ILA condemned it as unconstitutional; Gov. Spanberger signed it into law in May 2026. Davis stood with every Republican delegate in opposing it.
