After a military career spanning nearly two decades and years more as a lobbyist and Capitol Hill staffer, retired Lt. Col. Dave Davis is now chief of staff to Rep. Kevin Patrick Brady (R-Texas), the House’s deputy whip and the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
He joined Brady's office this month.
Davis spent the last three years lobbying for Meyers and Associates and, prior, was senior vice president of government affairs for ChoicePoint.
Davis joined the U.S. Army in 1976 and worked his way up to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He specialized in Korea and Northeast Asia and has been touted for his leadership during several military base realignments in his home state of Texas.
After leaving the military, he held a number of positions with former Sen. Kay Hutchison (R-Texas), including working as her chief of staff and senior adviser. He also previously served as staff director of the vice chair of the Senate Republican Conference and as a legislative fellow for the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Davis graduated from Mercer University and received a master’s degree in international affairs from Catholic University. He has also studied military arts and science at the Korean Army College.
