In an interview with KNOE, Davis said
| “ |
"My platform is to unite our country. Both of the parties have been fighting against each other. So we need to bring about unity in our country. So let’s move America forward. Together. Together we can." "The values that are very important to me, are equally important to everyone. Unity, more wages for teachers, teaching increased funding for salary and staff positions, and not only that, but in reference to more agricultural funding for farmers, and the reference to this COVID-19 pandemic...we need to bring about herd immunity as expeditiously as possible." "I believe Black lives matter because all lives matter. Not only that, but more increased funding for police to bring about more awareness in terms of training for police." [1] |
