Timeline

He represented the 38th district.

1943

Lincoln Edward Davis (born September 13, 1943) is an American politician and the former U.S. Representative for TN's 4th congressional district.

He is a member of the Democratic Party.

He is a member of the ReFormers Caucus of Issue One.

Davis has spent most of his life in Fentress County, a mostly rural county in the state's coal-mining region.

1966

He graduated from Tennessee Tech in 1966 with a degree in agriculture.

Davis, who now lives in the rural Fentress County village of Pall Mall, also owns a construction business, Diversified Construction Co., which builds homes, apartments, and offices.

Davis and his wife Lynda, a now retired elementary school teacher, have three daughters, Larissa, Lynn and Libby, and five grandchildren.

1978

Davis began his political career in 1978, when he was elected mayor of Byrdstown.

Midway through his term as mayor, he was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives, where he served two terms.

1984

He gave up the seat in 1984 to run for the Democratic nomination in the Tennessee's 6th congressional district when Al Gore gave it up to make a successful run for the United States Senate.

He narrowly lost the primary to state Democratic Party chairman Bart Gordon.

Ten years later, he ran for the Democratic nomination in the 4th District after Jim Cooper gave up the seat to make an unsuccessful run for Gore's Senate seat.

He lost narrowly again, this time to one of Cooper's former assistants, Jeff Whorley, who in turn lost the general election to Republican Van Hilleary.

1996

In 1996, he was elected to the Tennessee State Senate and served two terms there.

2002

Midway through his second term in the State Senate, in 2002, Davis ran for the Democratic nomination in the 4th District when four-term Republican incumbent Van Hilleary gave up the seat to make what would ultimately be an unsuccessful run for governor.

This time, he narrowly won the primary against a self-funding opponent, Fran Marcum of Tullahoma, who spent nearly $2 million in the race.

He went on to win a hard-fought battle in the general election, narrowly defeating Republican Tullahoma Alderman Janice Bowling, 52%-47%; Bowling was Hilleary's district director.

2004

Davis was reelected in a 2004 rematch against Bowling with slightly less difficulty, 55%-44%.

2006

Davis faced nominal opposition in 2006.

Although the 4th was not considered safe for either major party, its size (it stretches across two time zones and five television markets) made it very difficult to unseat an incumbent.

Davis defeated Republican Kenneth Martin, 67.5%-32.5%.

2008

Davis did not make an endorsement of the candidate in advance of the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Hillary Clinton won the primary in his district by a significant margin, and John McCain outran Barack Obama there by 29 percentage points.

In the November 2008 general election, Davis defeated Republican candidate Monty Lankford, a hospital equipment company owner.

Afterwards Davis was appointed to the House Appropriations Committee and the Energy & Water Subcommittee.

2009

In April 2009, Davis voted against the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

However, he announced that he had decided not to seek that office in January 2009, and instead ran for reelection to his House seat.

2010

Davis was considered a possible candidate for Governor of Tennessee in 2010.

In the 2010 congressional race, Davis was challenged by Republican Scott DesJarlais.

2012

He represented the 12th district.

While in the Tennessee General Assembly, Davis supported state employee and teacher pay raises, long-term care for senior citizens, character education in schools and new domestic violence legislation.

Davis initiated and fought for a bill requiring counseling and a 12-hour holding period for domestic violence offenders.

Davis is a moderate Democrat by Tennessee standards, but a conservative Democrat by national ones.

Davis made headlines for his opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment.

He is also known for his opposition to bailing out Wall Street and cap-and-trade legislation.

Davis spent time focusing on funding abandoned coal mines in Tennessee.

He has supported efforts to fund long-term care for senior citizens and has advocated new domestic violence legislation.

He opposes abortion and gun control, stances typical of most Democrats from rural areas of the state.

During his first run for Congress, he vowed not to allow his Republican opponents to "outgun me, outpray me or outfamily me."
