James “Jamie” Davis Jr. is a third-generation Louisiana farmer, small-business owner, and public servant from Waterproof in Tensas Parish. Born in Houston, Texas, he returned to the Louisiana Delta as a child and attended public schools before enrolling at Louisiana State University to study electrical engineering. He later returned home to work at his family’s Davis Farms, founded by his father in 1977. Today, Davis owns and operates the more than 2,000-acre farm, producing sorghum, corn, soybeans, and cotton on land that includes acreage once worked by his grandfather as a sharecropper.

In 2015, Davis was elected Police Juror for District 7 in Tensas Parish, where he served four years and held the role of Vice President of the Police Jury. In 2023, he ran for State Representative in District 21 and currently serves on the Louisiana Democratic State Central Committee.

Davis lives in Ferriday with his wife, Brenda, and near his children and grandchildren. He is running for the U.S. Senate to strengthen Louisiana’s economy, expand access to affordable healthcare, and support quality education and opportunity for families across the state.
  • Jamie Davis is running to lower the cost of living for working families by prioritizing fair tax policies, affordable healthcare, housing, and fair wages. He supports reversing tax policies that favor large corporations over workers, strengthening competition to lower prices, protecting consumers from rising utility costs driven by industrial expansion, and investing in infrastructure that creates sustainable economic growth across rural, suburban, and urban Louisiana communities.
  • Jamie Davis believes healthcare is a basic human need. He supports maintaining Affordable Care Act subsidies, protecting Medicaid access, lowering prescription drug prices, expanding mental health and addiction treatment, and creating a Medicare option available to all Americans. His plan focuses on simplifying healthcare access, strengthening rural and urban hospitals, expanding telehealth services, and eliminating medical bankruptcy so families can receive care without financial ruin.
  • Jamie Davis supports strong public schools, competitive teacher pay, and affordable access to college, vocational training, and technical careers that prepare Louisianans for modern jobs. He believes the U.S. Senate must uphold constitutional checks and balances, protect personal freedoms, respect religious liberty, and pursue practical immigration reform that combines lawful enforcement with humane policies. Davis emphasizes independent leadership that puts country and community above partisan politics.
I am most passionate about policies that improve affordability, healthcare access, and economic opportunity for working families and rural communities. As a farmer and small-business owner, I have seen firsthand how rising healthcare costs, declining economic investment, and underfunded schools impact families across Louisiana. I am committed to strengthening affordable healthcare access, supporting public education and workforce training, and creating economic policies that help small businesses and farmers compete and grow. I am also passionate about protecting constitutional freedoms, ensuring responsible government oversight, and promoting practical solutions that put people and communities ahead of partisan politics.
