REPORT: Democrat Don Davis is funded (almost entirely) by out of state liberals
Out of touch Democrat Don Davis repeatedly votes AGAINST his own constituents, and a new report makes it clear why: Davis is funded (almost exclusively) by out of state liberals – not North Carolinians.
Of the measly $689k Davis raised in Q2, a whopping 87% of it came from outside North Carolina, including from the liberal bastions of New York, California, and Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, Republican Sandy Roberson, Davis’ competition, amassed a huge war chest, bringing in $2.3m in the second quarter.
“The money doesn’t lie: North Carolinians have no interest in Don Davis’ out of touch, out of state agenda, and they’re fired up to elect new leadership next fall.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) raised only $689,000 in the second quarter of 2024, and 93 percent of that money came from outside North Carolina, with nearly half pouring in from deep-blue states like California, New York, and Massachusetts.

While families across the First District are struggling under the weight of rising costs, Davis voted for a 24 percent tax hike that would directly hit his own constituents. He opposed common-sense tax relief for farmers, the largest industry in the state, including legislation to prevent the death tax from crushing family-owned farms and measures to make the Small Business Deduction permanent. He also voted against allowing farmers to fully expense the equipment and tools they need to survive, blocking increased expense thresholds and enhanced cost recovery that would ease the burden on local agriculture.

While Davis struggles to raise even $700,000, with nearly all of it coming from liberal bastions on the coasts, Republican challenger Sandy Roberson is gaining ground fast. Roberson brought in a $2.3 million haul in the same period and is campaigning on a record of public service. As the two-term mayor of Rocky Mount, the largest city in the district, Roberson partnered with local law enforcement to improve public safety, launched job training programs to revitalize downtown, and championed a local ethics transparency law.

“Don Davis fundraising says it all,” remarked NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole. “The few people who care to support him are radical liberals in New York, California, and Massachusetts. Next year, it won’t just be money his constituents won’t give him—it’ll be their vote.”
