U.S. House of Representatives
In 2000, Davis challenged three-term Republican incumbent
Brian Bilbray in what was then the 49th District, winning with
50 percent of the vote. Her district was renumbered the 53rd
District after the 2000 Census redistricting. She has been
reelected six times
without much difficulty. She is the first
Democrat to represent what is now the
53rd district for more than one term in
over half a century. The only other
Democrat to represent this district since
the Harry Truman administration, Lynn
Schenk, was toppled by Bilbray in the
1994 Republican wave.
Davis has introduced a federal version of
the California OB/Gyn law she authored
at the start of every Congress since she
was elected. Provisions of her OB/Gyn
bill were included in the health care
reform bill enacted into law.
In 2011, Davis voted for the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2012 as part of a controversial provision that allows the
government and the military to indefinitely detain American citizens and
others without trial.[5]
Davis is a member of the New Democrat Coalition and portrays herself as working across party lines. She serves
on the House Armed Services Committee, where she is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Military
Personnel. She also serves on the Education and Workforce Committee and the Committee on House
Administration.
In 2012, Davis filed a lawsuit to recover over $150,000 in campaign funds from her former campaign treasurer,
Kinde Durkee.[6] Durkee was later sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud after pleading guilty to stealing
seven million dollars from more than fifty people.[7]
