Ally Artur Davis Left the Democratic Party,” USA Today , 5/30/12)
Former Alabama Democrat Congressman Artur Davis: “If I were to run, it would be as a
Republican.” (Artur Davis, “A Response To Political Rumors,” Artur Davis Website, 5/29/12)
- Davis:
“On the specifics, I have
regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job
creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have
taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc
appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured:
frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the
substance of a united country.” (Artur Davis, “A Response To Political Rumors,”
Artur Davis Website, 5/29/12)
NOTE: Davis Was The First Congressman Outside Of
Illinois To Endorse Obama For President. “Seventeen years passed until, a year ago, Rep. Artur Davis of
Alabama became the first congressman outside Illinois to endorse the
presidential candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama.” (Howard Fineman, “Part Of
Something Larger,” Newsweek, 2/16/08)
