Paul Davis for Illinois' 15th Congressional District

Meet Paul

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’s dedication doesn’t stop at the clinic doors. He’s a small-town veterinarian who’s judged 4H fairs and quietly given back through a donor-advised fund supporting local nonprofits and an endowed scholarship for veterinary students from central and southern Illinois.

From late-night emergency calls at the animal clinic to rolling up his sleeves for local charities, Paul Davis shows up when it counts. He believes progress happens through hard work, honest conversations, and a commitment to community - not political grandstanding.

Now, Paul is ready to take his lifelong commitment to service to the halls of Congress - standing up for the people, communities, and values that shaped him.

He knows that real change starts at the local level - with hard work, honest leadership, and deep respect for the people you serve. In Congress, Paul will fight every day to protect central and southern Illinois’ future.

Let's reel in real results for Illinois!
