"I got a great record of working with the Trump administration. Remember, I'm the only member of Congress in this race that actually served during the Trump administration," he told Fox News.Davis showcased that his"record includes helping to craft the Trump tax cut bill, helping to craft private sector employer-based student loan payment programs.
Earlier this month, Miller went up with a TV ad that spotlights Davis’ 2019 support for red flag laws in the aftermath of mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. The Senate passed a bipartisan bill Thursday night that included federal grants to encourage states to set up red flag laws. The House passed the bill on Friday, sending it to President Biden's desk.While the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund gives Miller an A rating, Davis has an A- rating.
Davis also took aim at Miller, spotlighting her controversies and pointing out that she does not live in the redrawn district while he does."She's kind of developed the by basement strategy of hiding from the media, not answering questions that may be uncomfortable," he charged."For example, she still never addressed the fact that she had a convicted pedophile who spent time in jail for trying to lure a young boy for sex.
