Davis was among those supporting for an audit of 2020 election results in Crow Wing County, saying he wanted to make sure the laws were followed and no fraud occurred.[3]

Davis serves on the Children and Families Finance and Policy, Climate and Energy Finance and Policy, and Elections Finance and Policy Committees.[1]
