[constituency_baseline] District summary: North Carolina's 1st Congressional District spans the northeastern corner of the state, covering many rural Black Belt counties along the Virginia border and extending south into the Inner Banks and outer edges of the Research Triangle. It is among the state's most economically disadvantaged areas, with a median household income of $56,285 and a poverty rate of 13.1%. The district is majority-minority: 48.4% White, 39.1% Black, and has a significant Hispanic population. Only 20.2% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Key cities include Greenville, Rocky Mount, Wilson, and Goldsboro. The economy relies on health care, education, agriculture, and military installations such as Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.

Voted yea on H.R. 6090 (Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023) on 2024-05-01: Davis voted yes on a bill that codified the IHRA definition of antisemitism, a priority for his top donor AIPAC. Progressives and civil libertarians in his party argued the bill would chill free speech and criticism of Israel. Davis's vote aligned with donor pressure over civil-liberties concerns shared by many Democratic colleagues.

Voted yea on H.J.Res.26 (Disapproving the District of Columbia Council's Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022) on 2023-02-09: Davis joined 31 Democrats and all Republicans to override D.C.'s locally enacted criminal justice reforms, which would have eliminated most mandatory minimum sentences. The vote represented a donor-aligned 'tough on crime' stance, while his district—which includes many poor, Black Belt communities—has constituents directly affected by mandatory minimums.
