Stephanie is a psychologist, specializing in the treatment of homeless veterans suffering from trauma.[5] Davis was first elected to the House in 2003 when his predecessor, Troy Findley, left the legislature to join the staff of newly elected Governor Kathleen Sebelius. He became the House Minority Leader in 2008, and worked with moderate republicans to pass a budget.[5] Davis was an intern for former Kansas Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley and former Congressman Jim Slattery.[4] He is a partner in the Lawrence, Kansas, law firm of Fagan, Emert & Davis, LLC, which specializes in commercial litigation, family law, personal injury litigation, business and corporate law, federal and state criminal defense, Social Security Disability, real estate including foreclosures.[6] Political careerKansas House of RepresentativesDavis was appointed to serve in the Kansas House of Representatives in 2002.

Upon announcing his candidacy, Davis stated, "As Kansans, we believe we have a moral obligation to educate our children, reward hard work, build a strong middle class and cooperate with one another. These values are what make us Kansans."[8] Davis's bid was endorsed by over 100 Kansas Republican politicians.[9] One who did so was former Kansas Senate President Dick Bond.[10] His rationale for doing so was created by the state's fiscal difficulties brought on by Brownback's substantial tax cutting policies.[11][10][10] The organization Republicans for Kansas Values stated that their primary reason for the endorsement was not to elect a Democrat, but to defeat incumbent governor Sam Brownback.[12] Davis was defeated by Brownback in the general election, 49.8% to 46.1%.[13][14] 2018 U.S. House campaign{{see also|2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Kansas#District 2}}Davis was the Democratic Party's nominee in the 2018 election in Kansas' 2nd congressional district. The seat was open following the retirement of Republican incumbent Lynn Jenkins.[15] Davis carried the 2nd District in 2014, when he lost a close contest for election as governor to incumbent Sam Brownback. The seat has flipped between parties repeatedly. It has been held by Democrat Jim Slattery, who stepped down to run for governor in 1994, and Republican Jim Ryun, who represented the district for six terms until he was unseated by one-term Democrat Nancy Boyda. Boyda, in turn, was defeated by Republican Lynn Jenkins in 2008. Jenkins declined to run for reelection in 2018.[16] Republican Steve Watkins narrowly defeated Davis in the general election in November 2018.[17] References1. ^Kansas legislators Past and Present-Paul Davis 2. ^{{Cite news|url=http://kcur.org/post/davis-launches-campaign-kansas-2nd-district-congressional-seat#stream/0|title=Davis Launches Campaign For Kansas’ 2nd District Congressional Seat|last=Koranda|first=Stephen|access-date=2017-08-18|language=en}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=GOP newcomer Steve Watkins bucks polls to keep Kansas’ 2nd District red |url=https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article221143795.html |website=kansascity |language=en}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Cooper|first1=Brad|title=Democrat Paul Davis’ life immersed in policy and politics |url=http://www.kansascity.com/news/government-politics/article2541992.html|accessdate=9 October 2014|publisher=Kansas City Star |date=7 October 2014}} 5. ^1 2 3 Davis seen as possible Democratic opponent to Gov.
