Davidson won his party nomination in a convention held in Acme on December 24, 1963. He had been involved with the party as a volunteer for 20 years prior to seeking the nomination.[1]

In the election Davidson won a hotly contested four-way race over Liberal leader David Hunter and two other candidates to hold the seat for his party.[2]
