Early life, education, and career

Davis was born in Parkdale, Arkansas, and educated at Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College (now the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff; B.A. in history, 1961), Chicago State University (M.S. in guidance, 1968), and the Union Institute & University in Cincinnati, Ohio (Ph.D. in public administration, 1977).[5]

Davis worked as a government clerk, a high school teacher, executive director of the Greater Lawndale Conservation Commission, director of training at the Martin L. King Neighborhood Health Center, and executive director of the Westside Health Center before entering politics. He represented Chicago's 29th Ward on the Chicago City Council from 1979 to 1990.[6]

Davis challenged U.S. Representative Cardiss Collins in Democratic primaries in 1984 and 1986, but lost both races. In 1990, he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Edward J. Rosewell for the Democratic nomination for Cook County Treasurer. Also in 1990, Davis was elected to the Cook County Board of Commissioners, serving from 1990 to 1996 before entering the House.[7] Davis had also waged an unsuccessful campaign against Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley in the 1991 Democratic mayoral primary.

Cook County Board of Commissioners

Davis was elected to the Cook County Board of Commissioners from Chicago at-large in 1990. When the board transitioned to district elections in 1994, he was elected to its 1st district.

Entering Congress in 1997, Davis left the Cook County Board of Commissioners. He desired to see Illinois State Senator Earlean Collins appointed his successor on the board, but party leaders instead chose Darlena Williams-Burnett, executive assistant of Jesse White and the wife of alderman Walter Burnett Jr. Collins challenged and unseated Williams-Burnett in the Democratic primary for the seat in 1998.[8][9][10]

Elections

 
Davis, 1997.

On December 6, 1995, Davis announced his candidacy for the 7th congressional district, adding his name to the already announced Democratic candidates, including Alderman Percy Z. Giles, Cook County Board of Commissioners member Bobbie L. Steele, Alderman Ed Smith, and Alderman Dorothy Tillman.[11] Five other Democratic candidates entered the race later: S. Mendenhall, Joan Sullivan, G. Winbush, Anthony Travis, and Joan Powell, making it the largest field of candidates for U.S. Congress in Illinois in 1996.[12] Davis lived a block outside the district, but was familiar in it.[13][14]

Davis ran on a progressive Democratic platform popular in the district. He was pro-choice and supported gay rights, the ERA, single-payer health care, and some federal support for child nutrition and care.[13]

In early January 1996, the FBI revealed its Operation Silver Shovel, which included an investigation into Alderman Giles.[15] What Operation Silver Shovel may have done to undermine Giles's chances for election are unclear as he was already lagging with a mere 3% among likely Democratic primary voters in a mid-December poll compared to Davis's 33%, Smith's 8%, Tillman's 7%, and Steele's 6%.[16] But Giles did have Mayor Richard M. Daley's support and that of other well-known area figures—some of whom continued their support during the controversy.[17]

On March 10, 1996, during a radio debate hosted by WMAQ-AM, Tillman and Smith called for Davis to reject the endorsement of former alderman candidate Wallace "Gator" Bradley,[18] spokesman for convicted Gangster Disciples leader Larry Hoover.[17] "Why do you keep badgering me with this question?" Davis replied. "You got a problem with something? You're not going to catch me going around saying I hate Gator Bradley. … I'm not in the business of disavowing individuals. The good Lord said he hated sin, but not sinners. I'm not hating Gator Bradley. I disagree with those who commit crime and those who'd use drugs, but you won't catch me going around saying that I hate Gator Bradley."[17] Davis never rejected Bradley’s endorsement during the campaign, and after winning the primary claimed that Bradley’s endorsement played no role in the outcome, though Bradley asserted the contrary.[19]

During the campaign, Tillman highlighted comments Davis made in an August 1970 issue of Ebony: "[T]he white female often gives the black man certain kinds of recognition that the black woman often does not give him."[20] The Davis campaign countered that Davis was speaking as a psychologist in his role as a training director at a health center.[20]

Although Davis was fully promoted as a Democratic candidate, he also ran as a New Party candidate.[21][22][23] Supporting this was New Party’s celebration of him as the "first New Party member elected to the U.S. Congress."[24] Although the State of Illinois did not permit fusion voting, New Party advocated it as a means to promote itself and its agenda and to project New Party ideology into the Democratic Party.[25] Candidates were called "N[ew]P[arty] Democrats"[25] and required to sign a contract mandating a "visible and active relationship" with New Party.[26] During this time, New Party was experiencing substantial growth.[27] Davis was also endorsed by the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America (CDSA),[28] of which he had been a member[29][30] since before his congressional run.[31] ACORN, AFL–CIO, Sierra Club, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters also endorsed Davis.[32]

In the March 20 Democratic primary, Davis received more votes than the two closest candidates, Tillman and Smith, combined.[12] The first five announced candidates all received more than twice as many votes as the five late-entering candidates, with none of the latter receiving more than 2,700.[12]

In the November 5 general election, Davis defeated Republican Randy Borow and third-party candidates Chauncey L. Stroud (Independent), Toietta Dixon (Libertarian), and Charles A. Winter (Natural Law) with over 82% of the vote.[33]

Tenure

Davis expressed interest in replacing John Stroger on the ballot in the 2006 race for President of the Cook County Board.[34] Stroger's son Todd Stroger was ultimately selected.

In late 2008, Davis expressed interest in being President Barack Obama's replacement in the U.S. Senate before Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's scandal erupted.[35] In a December 31, 2008, New York Times article, Davis said that he turned down an offer from Blagojevich's representatives to appoint him to the Senate.[36] Instead, Blagojevich appointed Roland Burris.[37]

Davis ran for mayor of Chicago a second time in 2011, but withdrew before the election and endorsed Carol Moseley Braun.[38]

In the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Davis endorsed Kamala Harris.[39] He later endorsed Joe Biden ahead of the Iowa caucus.[40][41]

Sun Myung Moon

In 2004, Davis was met with national controversy when he crowned Reverend Sun Myung Moon in a religious ceremony at the Dirksen Senate Office Building honoring Moon.[42][43] Moon declared himself the Messiah at the crowning ceremony, in which Davis appeared on the invitation as a sponsoring co-chair.[43] Davis wore white gloves and carried the crown on a pillow to crown Moon and his wife "the King and Queen of Peace."[44] Davis told Christian Challenge that Moon's declaring himself the Messiah "was similar to a baseball team owner telling team members that 'we are the greatest team on earth'" before a game. Davis said the peace awards were to "recognize people for promoting peace. Of course the highest recognition goes to the highest promoter and the highest promoter is Reverend Moon, so they come up with something higher than the certificates and plaques that other folks get."[43] Other lawmakers who attended included Senator Mark Dayton, Representatives Roscoe Bartlett and Elijah Cummings, and former Representative Walter Fauntroy. Key organizers of the event included George Augustus Stallings, Jr., a controversial former Catholic priest who had been married by Moon, and Michael Jenkins, the president of the Unification Church of the United States at that time.[45]

Trip paid for by Tamil Tigers

As the 15th most prolific traveler in Congress, Davis stirred up controversy by accepting a trip to Sri Lanka in 2005 on behalf of the Tamil minority there, paid for by the Tamil Tigers, a group that the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers. Davis said that he was unaware that the Tigers were the source of the trip's funding.[46]

Relationship with Louis Farrakhan

Davis has said that Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam who has attracted considerable controversy for his anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks, is an "outstanding human being" and that "I personally know him, I’ve been to his home, done meetings, participated in events with him." In March 2018, Davis said: "The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth. For those heavy into it, that’s their thing, but it ain’t my thing."[47][48][49][50] Davis condemned Farrakhan's views later that month, saying, "So let me be clear: I reject, condemn and oppose Minister Farrakhan’s views and remarks regarding the Jewish people and the Jewish religion."[51] He attended Farrakhan's Million Man March and was the only member of Congress to address the 20th anniversary of it.[52][53]

and the wife of alderman Walter Burnett Jr Collins challenged and unseated Williams Burnett in the Democratic primary for the seat in 1998 8 9 10 U S House of Representatives EditElections Edit Davis 1997 On December 6 1995 Davis announced his candidacy for the 7th congressional district adding his name to the already announced Democratic candidates including Alderman Percy Z Giles Cook County Board of Commissioners member Bobbie L Steele Alderman Ed Smith and Alderman Dorothy Tillman 11 Five other Democratic candidates entered the race later S Mendenhall Joan Sullivan G Winbush Anthony Travis and Joan Powell making it the largest field of candidates for U S Congress in Illinois in 1996 12 Davis lived a block outside the district but was familiar in it 13 14 Davis ran on a progressive Democratic platform popular in the district He was pro choice and supported gay rights the ERA single payer health care and some federal support for child nutrition and care 13 In early January 1996 the FBI revealed its Operation Silver Shovel which included an investigation into Alderman Giles 15 What Operation Silver Shovel may have done to undermine Giles s chances for election are unclear as he was already lagging with a mere 3 among likely Democratic primary voters in a mid December poll compared to Davis s 33 Smith s 8 Tillman s 7 and Steele s 6 16 But Giles did have Mayor Richard M Daley s support and that of other well known area figures some of whom continued their support during the controversy 17 On March 10 1996 during a radio debate hosted by WMAQ AM Tillman and Smith called for Davis to reject the endorsement of former alderman candidate Wallace Gator Bradley 18 spokesman for convicted Gangster Disciples leader Larry Hoover 17 Why do you keep badgering me with this question Davis replied You got a problem with something You re not going to catch me going around saying I hate Gator Bradley I m not in the business of disavowing individuals The good Lord said he hated sin but not sinners I m not hating Gator Bradley I disagree with those who commit crime and those who d use drugs but you won t catch me going around saying that I hate Gator Bradley 17 Davis never rejected Bradley s endorsement during the campaign and after winning the primary claimed that Bradley s endorsement played no role in the outcome though Bradley asserted the contrary 19 During the campaign Tillman highlighted comments Davis made in an August 1970 issue of Ebony T he white female often gives the black man certain kinds of recognition that the black woman often does not give him 20 The Davis campaign countered that Davis was speaking as a psychologist in his role as a training director at a health center 20 Although Davis was fully promoted as a Democratic candidate he also ran as a New Party candidate 21 22 23 Supporting this was New Party s celebration of him as the first New Party member elected to the U S Congress 24 Although the State of Illinois did not permit fusion voting New Party advocated it as a means to promote itself and its agenda and to project New Party ideology into the Democratic Party 25 Candidates were called N ew P arty Democrats 25 and required to sign a contract mandating a visible and active relationship with New Party 26 During this time New Party was experiencing substantial growth 27 Davis was also endorsed by the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America CDSA 28 of which he had been a member 29 30 since before his congressional run 31 ACORN AFL CIO Sierra Club and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters also endorsed Davis 32 In the March 20 Democratic primary Davis received more votes than the two closest candidates Tillman and Smith combined 12 The first five announced candidates all received more than twice as many votes as the five late entering candidates with none of the latter receiving more than 2 700 12 In the November 5 general election Davis defeated Republican Randy Borow and third party candidates Chauncey L Stroud Independent Toietta Dixon Libertarian and Charles A Winter Natural Law with over 82 of the vote 33 Davis with President Barack Obama in January 2011 Davis watches as President Obama signs an executive order on July 26 2012 Tenure Edit Davis expressed interest in replacing John Stroger on the ballot in the 2006 race for President of the Cook County Board 34 Stroger s son Todd Stroger was ultimately selected In late 2008 Davis expressed interest in being President Barack Obama s replacement in the U S Senate before Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich s scandal erupted 35 In a December 31 2008 New York Times article Davis said that he turned down an offer from Blagojevich s representatives to appoint him to the Senate 36 Instead Blagojevich appointed Roland Burris 37 Davis ran for mayor of Chicago a second time in 2011 but withdrew before the election and endorsed Carol Moseley Braun 38 In the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries Davis endorsed Kamala Harris 39 He later endorsed Joe Biden ahead of the Iowa caucus 40 41 Sun Myung Moon Edit In 2004 Davis was met with national controversy when he crowned Reverend Sun Myung Moon in a religious ceremony at the Dirksen Senate Office Building honoring Moon 42 43 Moon declared himself the Messiah at the crowning ceremony in which Davis appeared on the invitation as a sponsoring co chair 43 Davis wore white gloves and carried the crown on a pillow to crown Moon and his wife the King and Queen of Peace 44 Davis told Christian Challenge that Moon s declaring himself the Messiah was similar to a baseball team owner telling team members that we are the greatest team on earth before a game Davis said the peace awards were to recognize people for promoting peace Of course the highest recognition goes to the highest promoter and the highest promoter is Reverend Moon so they come up with something higher than the certificates and plaques that other folks get 43 Other lawmakers who attended included Senator Mark Dayton Representatives Roscoe Bartlett and Elijah Cummings and former Representative Walter Fauntroy Key organizers of the event included George Augustus Stallings Jr a controversial former Catholic priest who had been married by Moon and Michael Jenkins the president of the Unification Church of the United States at that time 45 Trip paid for by Tamil Tigers Edit As the 15th most prolific traveler in Congress Davis stirred up controversy by accepting a trip to Sri Lanka in 2005 on behalf of the Tamil minority there paid for by the Tamil Tigers a group that the U S government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers Davis said that he was unaware that the Tigers were the source of the trip s funding 46 Relationship with Louis Farrakhan Edit Davis has said that Louis Farrakhan the leader of the Nation of Islam who has attracted considerable controversy for his anti Semitic and homophobic remarks is an outstanding human being and that I personally know him I ve been to his home done meetings participated in events with him In March 2018 Davis said The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth For those heavy into it that s their thing but it ain t my thing 47 48 49 50 Davis condemned Farrakhan s views later that month saying So let me be clear I reject condemn and oppose Minister Farrakhan s views and remarks regarding the Jewish people and the Jewish religion 51 He attended Farrakhan s Million Man March and was the only member of Congress to address the 20th anniversary of it 52 53 Committee assignments Edit Committee on Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
