===Davis joins Democrats to elect House Speaker===
On January 13, 2020, Davis was among 23 Republican lawmakers, 35 Democratic lawmakers, and two [[Independent]]s, known as the [[Louisiana Republican Fraud Squad]], who elected Republican [[Clay Schexnayder]] of Ascension Parish as [[Speaker]] of the House. In 2016, Davis was involved in electing former Rep. [[Taylor Barras]] as the first independent Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, bucking the legislature's tradition of supporting the governor's chosen leader.
