Raised in a blue-collar household, Jacob learned the values of hard work and perseverance at an early age. His mother, a retired UAW worker, and his father, a small business owner who ran a shoe repair shop, instilled in him a deep respect for the dignity of labor and the importance of standing up for working people.
When Jacob was just 16, he lost his father—a loss that shaped his commitment to fighting for families facing hardship. Determined to honor a promise he made to his parents, he became the first in his family to graduate from college, earning his law degree from the University of Dayton and dedicating his career to helping others navigate complex legal challenges.
As an attorney, Jacob has worked tirelessly to support small businesses, protect homeowners and tenants, and advocate for fair housing, employment rights, and economic opportunities for all. He believes that a strong Dayton starts with strong neighborhoods, good-paying jobs, and a government that works for the people.
Now, Jacob is running for office to bring bold, pro-worker/tenant/consumer leadership to Dayton. He is committed to creating policies that uplift working families, strengthen local businesses, and ensure that every resident has a fair shot at success. His campaign is about investing in people and revitalizing neighborhoods.- Jacob Davis is committed to building a stronger, more vibrant Dayton. His platform focuses on tackling generational poverty, supporting small businesses, and fostering neighborhood development and sustainability.
- Our community thrives when we invest in people, supporting individuals, families, students, and small business owners. Prioritizing responsible and inclusive land use policies fosters neighborhood beautification, development, and sustainability, which makes our community stronger.
- Jacob will strengthen local protections to ensure fair treatment for workers, tenants, and consumers,
