Congressman Don Davis Earns Top Ranking on Common Ground Scorecard for Working Across Party Lines
Congressman scores in the top 2% of all elected officials for finding common ground with colleagues.
WASHINGTON – 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 95 out of 100 points, putting him in the top two percent of all elected officials for finding common ground with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in Congress.
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 2023 Scorecard, released by Common Ground Committee (CGC), shows Congressman Davis’ score of 95, which places him as the 9th highest scorer in the U.S.
“Bridging political divides and seeking common ground for eastern North Carolinians drive me,” said Congressman Don Davis. “We must allow humanity, civility, and respect to guide us. The people of the East and America deserve nothing less.”
“American voters want their elected leaders to work together and do the hard work it will take to solve America’s most difficult challenges,” said Bruce Bond, CEO and Co-founder of CGC.“We know that Members of Congress can work together to find areas of agreement for the good of the country – regardless of their political beliefs. We also believe that sticking to your principles and working to find common ground with your political opponents aren’t mutually exclusive concepts – you can do both. Congressman Don Davis understands that you can disagree without anger or rancor over a given issue, and I hope that more Members of Congress follow his lead.
