Brett Davis was born in Oshkosh, graduated from Monroe High School and earned a B.A. in business administration from UW-Oshkosh, where he played collegiate basketball. His public service began immediately at the start of his professional career, first as a legislative aide in the state Capitol and then as an advisor to Governor Tommy Thompson both in Madison and Washington, D.C.

Brett was elected to his south central Wisconsin Assembly District as one of the youngest members of the Legislature in 2004. Despite liberal special interest groups spending over a million dollars attacking him, Brett managed to win reelection twice in a district where President Barack Obama took 64% of the vote. Brett’s common-sense philosophy and hard work on behalf of his constituents won support from Republicans and Independents—a trait that will certainly help the GOP take back the governor’s office in 2010.

In the Assembly Brett worked to lower taxes, cut spending, increase access to high-quality, affordable health care, stand up for the Second Amendment and defend pro-life values. He voted 126 to cut taxes by more than $5 billion. Brett has an A rating with the NRA, a 100% voting record with the National Federation of Independent Businesses, and has been endorsed by Wisconsin Right to Life in every election, including this race for lieutenant governor.

In addition to his legislative service, Davis is a small businessman working as a Realtor for Hedeman Real Estate Company. He also served as the immediate past president of the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce.

Davis has also been endorsed by Wisconsin Right to Life, Governor Tommy Thompson, the majority of Waukesha County GOP executive board members (as individuals), Congressman Mark Green, former State Representative and 2006 candidate for lt. governor Jean Hundertmark and 24 other state legislators including State Senator Ted Kanavas. In addition to these endorsements, Davis was leading vote getter on each of the three ballots cast in the lieutenant governor’s race at the 2010 Republican Party of Wisconsin state convention with a margin of at least 12 percent over his next closest rival.
