Ryan Davis was raised in Winchester, Indiana. He grew up the son of a homemaker, and a hard-working semi-driver. Ryan is married to his wife, Sarah Davis. Together they foster 2 children, and raise 3 cats and 1 dog. Ryan currently resides in Muncie, Indiana. Ryan works full time as a Paramedic and director of education and training for Heartland Ambulance Service and works for Noblesville and Westfield school corporations as a secondary Career- Technical Education Teacher.Ryan graduated from Winchester Community High School in 2010. He attended Trine University, Where he graduated in 2016 with a bachelors degree in Psychology. He obtained his Paramedic license through Indianapolis EMS and IUPUI of Indianapolis in 2018. Ryan is dedicated to putting Hoosier families first and fighting for the working class.
  • Families First- Supporting working class families by promoting job growth.
  • Supporting labor- Repealing Right to Work, Reinstating Common Construction Wage.
  • Supporting Public Education and Public School Teachers.
I am dedicated to putting working class families first. I am passionate about education and labor and supporting families across our district. I will be an advocate for local control. I will fight for collective bargaining rights, and the right to organize. I will support legislation that gives more control back to local school districts and will lobby for better pay for our teachers. I will support and promote legislation aimed at helping families gain access to lifesaving medications that many are doing without because they simply can't afford it. I will being a common sense approach to legislation that sees neither Republican or Democrat, just will be focused on bipartisan legislation that will lift up hard working families across our district. I want to promote and lobby for legislation that will guarantee child care to working families and fully funded pre-k options across the state. I am running to help fight the drug epidemic impacting some many families across our district. We need more than just incarceration we need rehabilitation.
I believe I would make a great leader because I have the ability to bring people together. I know how to advocate for people and listen. I know how to bring humor to complicated situations and I know how to accomplish tasks not matter how big or small they may be. I have high ambitions and determination to get things accomplished that I start. I have perseverance and integrity.
I believe the core responsibility of an elected official is to serve with integrity. It is that persons job to represent and speak for the people that elected them. They work for the people not the other way around. It requires transparency. It also requires a willingness to learn from others around you, to keep and open mind, and to be honest and truthful with your constituents.
The first major historical event I remember occurred in 2001. I was 11 years old at the time and it was the first time my eyes were opened to a global world. It was the first time I had ever felt panic and fear among friends and family. It was the first time I ever heard the word terrorist. September 11, 2001 is a day that changed the lives of all Americans. I was in the 4th grade. Most young adults between 25-30 would tell you 9/11 was pivotal moment for us. It is a day we will never forget. I learned a great deal that day about the resilience of the American people. Everyone was proud to show support for their nation. We were united for the first time in a long time. Everyone stood shoulder to shoulder and supported one another. It was both a tragic and beautiful time to be alive. All these years later, I now work as a Paramedic. I teach about 9/11 when I teach my high school students about scene control and incident command. This year was the first year that students taken my class were not even born when 9/11 happened. It was eye opening for me to realize this, and I was reminded of the importance of sharing our history with our youth. We must respect and learn from our past to bring together a brighter future.
"You Will Be Found", "Dear Evan Hansan". I have been listening to a great deal of musical music lately.
Both chambers have a huge responsibility to craft and adopt legislation that will impact families across the state. Each chamber operates slightly differently. The senate focuses a lot of fiscal matters impacting the state and the house focuses more on policy.
I do don't think that it is required or all that beneficial to have previous experience in government or politics to be elected. It is important for the candidate to have and understanding of the current events impacting voters in their district and to have an understanding of the system works.
Our state needs to focus on several important issues. We need to focus of job creation and expansion, supporting labor, providing access to a good quality public education, fixing our broken infrastructure, and tackling the growing drug epidemic facing our state.
The state legislature has the job of creating and passing laws that will impact families across the state. The Governor has the job of overseeing all entities within the state and signing and approving all bills that are adopted by the legislature. I think it is important for the Governor to support legislation that passes both chambers even if they personally disagree with it.
I believe having a good relationship with legislators of the same and different parties is important. As a legislator you have to be able to talk to everyone and explain why the legislation you are crafting and putting forward is good legislation. I believe I have an ability to be a fair judge of legislation and would be willing to work with both parties to make sure that good legislation is being crafted and adopted to support hard working families across our state and district.
Family, Children, and Human Affairs, Public Health, and Ways and Means.
I have several current and former legislators that I respect. Terry Austin, Melanie Wright, and Linda Lawson to name a few. They have all served their districts with integrity and really put their districts first when voting on bills. They are the excellent definitions of what a Representative should look like.
Many families across my district are hurting and need help. I have heard many store about having trouble finding good employment and family members that are facing addictions. There are way too many stories to share.
