<h3>A Stronger Economy and Fair Pay</h3>Fair wages and shrinking the wealth divide are pillars to a healthy economy for our district. This is one reason why I am firmly pro‑union.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unions raise standards for everyone, not just union members. When workers have a collective voice, they are better able to negotiate fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable hours, and benefits like healthcare and retirement security. I am grateful to our union workers for the progress they’ve achieved for all of us. Their gains set a “floor” that even non‑union employers must match to stay competitive. This translates into higher wages and better conditions across Illinois’ communities and that’s an accomplishment we can build on.A strong union also equals better education. Here’s how. When we back teachers’ unions, we are investing in better pay, smaller class sizes, and stronger professional development for educators. That stability and respect help us attract and retain talented, motivated teachers who focus on teaching rather than mere survival. In turn, the youth of Illinois receive a higher‑quality education, graduate better prepared for adult life, and become more competitive in the modern workplace. As your representative I intend to build a virtuous cycle of stronger schools, stronger workers, which means stronger communities for everyone.

<h3>Affordable, Accessible Healthcare for IL-15</h3>One of Paul’s top priorities is making sure every person in the 15th District can get the healthcare they need - without fear, without delay, and without going broke. From rising premiums to hospital closures to the shortage of rural providers, healthcare is becoming harder for families across our region. Paul is committed to fighting for policies that protect rural hospitals, lower costs, expand coverage, and ensure that care is available where people actually live. Healthcare shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code. It should be a guarantee.

I'm a veterinarian, business manager, and avid fisherman from Collinsville, IL. I’ve spent decades serving my community with compassion, integrity, and common sense problem-solving. I’m running for the 15th Congressional District because politics has become too extreme, too divisive, and too disconnected from the people it’s supposed to serve.I am determined to unseat Mary Miller who is more interested in impressing her donors and Donald Trump than Illinois residents.I'm ready to fight for everyday Illinoisans who just want an opportunity of better life for themselves and their families.

From parades and fairs to union halls and community meetings, I’ve had the honor of meeting so many of you, listening to your stories, and sharing my vision for a stronger, more united future. Here’s a look back at what we’ve been up to lately:Connecting with Democrats Across the DistrictI’ve had the privilege of meeting with county Democratic organizations in Moultrie, Montgomery, Piatt, DeWitt, Adams, Macon, Fayette, Jersey, Madison, McDonough, Coles, Bond, Logan, and beyond. Each stop reinforced the energy, ideas, and commitment that our communities bring to this campaign.County Fairs, Parades, and FestivalsFrom the Madison County Fair to the Mansfield Homecoming Parade and Apple Dumpling Festival in Piatt and Douglas Counties, these events reminded me of the importance of showing up, celebrating tradition, and connecting with neighbors. We’ve passed out candy, bandannas, and walk cards... but most importantly, we’ve shared smiles and conversations about the future of our district.Standing with Labor and WorkersI’ve met with the Iron Workers Local 392, Labor Local 44, and attended the 47th Annual Rich Dulka Mideastern Illinois Labor Council Picnic. Unions have always been vital to supporting working families, and I’m proud to stand with them in the fight for fair wages, safety, and dignity on the job.Community RecognitionKarin and I were humbled to accept the Local Business Supporting Community Award at the Collinsville Faith in Action annual banquet on behalf of Davis Pet Hospital. From the beginning, we’ve believed that small businesses have a responsibility to give back and support the community that supports them.Petitions and Ballot AccessWe’ve been out walking neighborhoods, gathering signatures, and reconnecting with neighbors. Every door knocked and every signature collected reminds us that campaigns are built by people walking together toward a common goal.Conversations That MatterAt county fairs, ice cream socials, town halls, and rallies, one theme continues to emerge: people are concerned about the rising costs of housing, food, and healthcare. Our veterans, seniors, and individuals experiencing disabilities or other medical issues in particular are facing growing challenges. These are not partisan issues... they’re human ones. I believe we can, and must, come together to solve them.Special MomentsAlong the way, I’ve had the chance to visit with leaders and friends across the district, including Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski and State Representative Katie Stuart, and to join Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair with Democrats from across the state. Karin and I even squeezed in a quick picnic on a park bench at Lake Shelbyville between events - one of the many beautiful spots here in IL-15.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/971abec9-b60d-4211-8568-9625958362ed/e728a6a7-e016-4f80-afd6-192504ba0e34/e728a6a7-e016-4f80-afd6-192504ba0e34.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2240%2C1226&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">This has been a hot, busy, and inspiring trail... and we’re just getting started!

Together, we can do better and be better.See you out on the trail,Paul

For Immediate Release - July 9, 2025:Veterinarian and Small Business Leader Launches Campaign to Restore Integrity and Practical Solutions to WashingtonCOLLINSVILLE, IL — Dr. Paul Davis is a veterinarian and business manager running for Congress to bring real-world experience and integrity back to Washington. Born and raised in Illinois, Paul is the son of a retired Air Force colonel and a Glen-Ed food pantry director, and he’s carried their values of service, compassion, and hard work into every aspect of his life.A proud graduate of Highland High School and the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, Paul has spent over three decades caring for animals and building trusted relationships with families across central and southern Illinois. In 2012, he and his wife, Dr. Karin Crocker, founded Davis Pet Hospital in Collinsville, where they live today with their two German Shepherd rescues and a cat.Paul Davis, announced today that he is running for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 15th Congressional District. Davis is entering the race to bring a fresh, pragmatic voice to Washington - one focused on service, not soundbites.“For too long, the current representatives in this district have ignored the real needs of Central Illinois - from protecting rural health care and rebuilding infrastructure to fully funding research grants and supporting family farms,” said Davis. “It’s time for leadership rooted in common sense, accountability, and action.”A first-time candidate, Davis says he’s motivated by conversations with neighbors and clients who feel forgotten by their elected officials. “I didn’t get into this to build a political career - I got into this because I believe this district deserves better,” he said.Illinois’ 15th District, a largely rural region stretching across central and southeastern Illinois, is currently represented by Rep. Mary Miller. Davis said the incumbent’s focus on national partisan battles has come at the expense of local needs.“We need less grandstanding and more bridge-building,” Davis said. “I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work - for farmers, working parents, veterans, and everyone who just wants a fair shot and a fair voice in the issues that matter to them”He plans to host a series of listening sessions throughout the summer and fall to hear directly from constituents.To learn more about the campaign, donate, or volunteer -&nbsp; visit: <a href="http://www.pauldavisforcongress.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.pauldavisforcongress.com</a>

Paul Davis Enters Race for Congress in Illinois’ 15th District

The Highland Holiday Parade once again delivered a night full of energy, lights, and true community spirit. The Highland Chamber of Commerce did a phenomenal job organizing this year’s event - bringing together an impressive lineup of floats, local organizations, and enthusiastic participants who made the parade feel bigger and brighter than ever.Crowds lined the streets well before kickoff, and the turnout showed just how much this tradition means to families across the region. From creative displays to festive music, every part of the evening reflected the care and coordination that went into making it special.A sincere thank-you is also due to our public safety teams. Their presence and preparation ensured that the entire community could enjoy the celebration with peace of mind. Because of their work, families were able to focus on the joy of the season and create memories that will last well beyond the holidays.The Davis Campaign was truly thrilled to be part of this beloved holiday tradition and grateful for the chance to connect with so many neighbors and families. Sharing in the joy, celebration, and community pride that filled the streets was an absolute highlight of the season. We’re honored to have had a presence at the parade and look forward to continuing to show up, listen, and stand alongside the people of this district at every opportunity.

Too often, Congress resembles a reality show instead of a serious body entrusted with safeguarding our constitutional rights and strengthening our economy. I am running to help change that.I take the word “Representative” both seriously and literally. The core responsibility of a Member of Congress is to bring the concerns of their constituents to the floor of the House and to work toward real, practical solutions that serve everyone, not just a privileged few. Whether you are a factory worker, teacher, doctor, nurse, truck driver, farmer, small business owner, or a single stay‑at‑home parent, my job is to represent you.I am not interested in going to Washington for fame, fortune, or social media celebrity. I am interested in listening and working for you. That is why I am traveling every mile of this district to hear directly from you. If I earn the honor of serving you in Congress, I promise to listen more than I speak and to spend more time in conversation with you than in front of cameras.A true open‑door policy cannot wait until after Election Day. It has to start now.While some candidates may be satisfied with occasional public appearances or social media posts, I am committed to ongoing, direct communication. Effective representation begins with accessibility, and accessibility begins with listening.Starting today, I am making my personal cell phone number available to you. If you have a concern, an idea, or a story you want your potential Representative to hear, I want to hear it.To speak with me personally, call 618-510-9175. This line will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. Like you, I have work and family responsibilities, so if I cannot answer immediately, you will be able to leave a message, and I will return your call personally.For too long, the people of District 15 have been overlooked. Our current representation has favored performance and empty promises over the hard, often quiet work of legislating. That ends today.If you have something to say, pick up the phone and call me. I am ready to listen.Paul Davis for Congress
