Geoff Davis Biography

Geoff Davis is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 26, 1958 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Geoffrey Clark Davis (born October 26 1958) is an American politician and former U.S. Representative for Kentucky’s 4th congressional district . He served from 2005 until 2012. He is an active participant in the Republican Party. The district comprises 24 counties that are located in the northeastern portion of the state. They extend across the Louisville region to close to the West Virginia border. The majority of the votes however, is cast in the counties that border Cincinnati. On December 15, 2011, Davis announced he would not run for reelection in 2012. In July 2012 Davis made the announcement that he would be stepping down from Congress with effect from the moment he announced it.

Then, in November of 2005 Davis was the subject of headlines due to his reaction to Pennsylvania Representative John Murtha’s plea for the withdrawal of Iraq by saying “Ayman Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s deputy, as well as Abu Musab Zarqawi, have made it quite clear in their internal propaganda that they cannot win unless they can drive the Americans out. And they know that they can’t do that there, so they’ve brought the battlefield to the halls of Congress. And, frankly, the liberal leadership have put politics ahead of sound, fiscal and national security policy. And what they have done is cooperated with our enemies and are emboldening our enemies.” Davis was slammed by the media for his comments, including the likes of those from the Democratic Veterans of Northern Kentucky and spurred a campaign that was led by the national Democratic Party leaders to get Ken Lucas to run against Davis in the 2006 election.

Davis is a staunch advocate of a federal prohibition of online poker. In 2006, he supported H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. In 2008, he opposed H.R. 5767, the Payment Systems Protection Act (a bill that sought to place a moratorium on enforcement of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act while the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve defined “unlawful Internet gambling”).

On January 30, 2006, Lucas announced he would challenge Davis later that year. The announcement instantly turned the race into one of the hottest in the campaign cycle, even though the 4th is considered the most Republican district in Kentucky. Despite a substantial Democratic advantage in voter registration, the influence of the heavily Republican northern Kentucky suburbs kept the district in Republican hands from 1967 until Lucas won the seat in 1998. In August Congressional Quarterly rated this race as “Lean Republican.” In late July the Washington Post also rated the race as a toss-up. A SurveyUSA poll released on July 25, 2006 showed Lucas leading 50% to 41%. However, the most recent independent SurveyUSA poll shows Davis up by two percentage points (46% Davis – 44% Lucas). Davis has a decisive lead in fundraising. The Cook Political Report, an independent non-partisan newsletter, rated the race for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District as a “Republican Toss-Up”, meaning either party has a good chance of winning.

Lucas has decided not to contest a second term, despite his promise to serve just three terms. In the 2004 election to fill the vacant seat, Davis defeated his Democratic opponent Nick Clooney, father of actor George Clooney, 54%-44%.
