Davis promised to be nonpartisan. She said she is known for reviewing all sides of an issue before coming to a decision she thinks is right.

“I treat everyone the same, regardless of my party affiliation,” she said.

Before moving to the area, Davis served as an assessor in Long Island. She graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in business and philosophy and a minor in accounting.

Although the election is not until November 2020, Davis said she wants to get going now, because she has a full-time job and less free time to campaign. She wants to visit all the counties in the large district and discuss issues with constituents.

Davis said she is committed to the race, whether running against Little or someone else. She pointed out that Little has not said whether she will seek re-election.

Little spokesman Daniel MacEntee said the senator has not made a decision about whether to run for a 10th term. She typically decides in the spring of an election year. Since the state primary has been moved from September to June, he said Little would have to circulate petitions in late February, so she will decide in December or January.
