Congressman Don Davis is Ranked #1 Most Bipartisan Member of Congress by Common Ground
WASHINGTON D.C. — Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) has been named a Common Ground Champion on the Common Ground Scorecard for his ongoing efforts to work across party lines on important issues to move the country forward. He has earned 110 out of 100 points, placing him at the top of all elected officials for finding common ground with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in Congress.
“Bridging political divides and seeking common ground for eastern North Carolinians drives me,” said Congressman Don Davis. “We must put people first, with civility and respect leading the way. The people of eastern North Carolina and the entire nation deserve nothing less.”
The Common Ground Scorecard is the first-ever measurement tool of elected officials and candidates for office – including U.S. House Members, U.S. Senators, and governors. The Scorecard shows on a scale of 0-100 how much these elected officials seek to find common ground with other political party members. The 2024 Scorecard, released by the Common Ground Committee (CGC), shows Congressman Davis’ score of 110, which places him as the 1st highest scorer in the U.S.
“While personal attacks and social media spats in Congress get the most attention, most Americans probably don’t realize there are earnest and dedicated Members like Congressman Don Davis, striving each day to solve the complex problems our country faces,” said Common Ground Committee Co-founder Erik Olsen. “We understand that Americans want their leaders to do the hard work necessary to find areas of agreement when possible, and we applaud Congressman Don Davis for his work seeking out common ground on our country’s toughest challenges.”
Congressman Davis was also ranked by the Lugar Center and Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy earlier this year as one of the top five most bipartisan Members of the U.S. House and the most bipartisan Member of North Carolina’s congressional delegation.
