5/19/2012

Today, Republican County Chairmen from the 14 counties that comprise Illinois' 13th Congressional District nominated Taylorville resident Rodney Davis to be the Republican candidate in the November election.

"With Rodney Davis as our nominee, the 13th Congressional District is staying in the Republican column," said Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady. "Rodney is exactly the kind of dedicated, responsible public servant that we need more of in Washington. I congratulate Illinois Republican Central Committeeman Mike Bigger and the 13th District county chairman for running a fair and transparent selection process that has yielded this strong candidate."

Davis currently serves as Projects Director for Congressman John Shimkus. In 2010, Davis headed the Illinois Republican Victory Program that helped win President Obama's old Senate seat, flip four Democratic House districts and retain an open Republican district.

Davis is a graduate of Milliken University in Decatur Illinois. He and his wife, Shannon, are the parents of three children.
