Jobs and the Economy
The east has been left behind by years of underinvestment and policies that ignored the actual needs of those who live in rural communities. Congressman Davis' perspective on economic fairness and the dignity of work is deeply rooted in his upbringing.
Growing up in rural eastern North Carolina, Congressman Davis learned the value of hard work early. He spent his childhood cropping tobacco to help his family put food on the table, provide clothing, and keep the lights on.
Congressman Davis recognizes that things have gotten more challenging for families like his, and for many in eastern North Carolina, the American dream has never felt more out of reach. That’s why he is pushing policies in Washington, D.C., to rebuild an economy that works for everyone by creating good-paying jobs, protecting the dignity of work, and fighting for fair wages and equitable employment practices in the workplace for all North Carolinians.
