Florida House of Representatives
In 2010, incumbent Republican State Representative Jennifer Carroll, who represented the 13th District, which included parts of Clay County and Duval County, was unable to seek re-election due to term limits and was selected by Rick Scott, the Republican nominee for Governor, as his running mate. Davis ran to succeed Carroll, and won the nomination of the Republican Party and the general election unopposed.
Florida House districts were redrawn in 2012, and Davis was redrawn into the 15th District, which included most of the territory that he had represented in the 13th District. Once again, he won both the nomination of his party and the general election unopposed, and was sworn in for his second term in the House.
