Glenn R. Davis For Congress Wisconsin WI Official Campaign Pin Pinback Button
GOP Candidate Pinback Button
In 1947, Davis ran in the special election to succeed Robert Kirkland Henry,
a Republican congressman who died just weeks after being elected to a
second term. Davis served five terms in the House of Representatives
representing Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district, before deciding to seek higher office in 1956. Instead of running for reelection, he launched an
unsuccessful primary challenge to incumbent Sen. Alexander Wiley.
In 1957, Davis lobbied unsuccessfully to become the GOP candidate in the
special election to replace the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wisconsin. The
Republican nod instead went to former Gov. Walter J. Kohler, Jr., who went on
to lose the seat to Democrat William Proxmire. Davis subsequently
returned to his law practice.
Eight years later, in 1964, Davis made a successful comeback bid by winning
the open Ninth Congressional District created by reapportionment. He served
another four terms before losing in the 1974 primary to a conservative
up-and-comer, future U.S. Sen. Bob Kasten. Davis felt he was hurt by the
then-unpopular pardon of Richard Nixon by then President Gerald Ford
on the Sunday before the primary election. Davis had been closely
associated with Ford.
To this day, Davis remains the sole native of Waukesha County
to have held Congressional office.
