Davis’ 141st Legislative District covers Bristol Township and Bristol Borough.
The Democrat’s campaign highlighted her legislative actions, including protecting consumers from junk fees added to concert and sporting event tickets, saving renters from unnecessary fees, and protecting incarcerated women from abuse. The campaign also said she has stood up to protect the right to have an abortion.
“I am proud and honored to work for the families of Lower Bucks County,” Davis said.

In her current role as the House Democratic Caucus secretary in Harrisburg, Davis has played a role in legislative efforts to bolster education across Pennsylvania. Her recent initiatives include increasing funding for state colleges, universities, and career and technical training programs.
“Our state colleges and universities are critical to the future,” said Davis. “Career and technical training for young people going into the workforce is vital not only for them but for our economy, as well.”
Davis has won her district every election since 2010. She lost a bid for state senate by a slim margin in 2018.

No Democratic challengers have announced, and no Republicans have made public their intention to run for the seat.
The reelection campaign for Davis starts with a petition-signing event at the Bristol Township Senior Center scheduled for Sunday, January 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a second event at the same location on Saturday, February 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The events, offering light refreshments, are open to the public, but only registered Democrats from Bristol Township or Bristol Borough can sign the official petition for Davis’s candidacy in the April 23 Democratic primary.
