Congressman Lincoln Davis.  Congressman Davis has proudly represented Tennessee's Fourth Congressional District since January 7, 2003.

In the late 1970’s, Davis was elected Mayor of Byrdstown before going on to serve in both the Tennessee House of Representatives and the Tennessee State Senate.

As a state House and Senate representative, Davis fought for improved healthcare for seniors and veterans, and worked hard to keep Tennessee's taxes low. In 2003, Davis was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Today, Davis continues his work for Tennessee by seeking real solutions that benefit teachers and veterans, factory workers and farmers, CEOs and homemakers alike.

At home in Pall Mall Tennessee, Davis enjoys spending time with his family. He married his high school sweetheart Lynda in 1963, with whom he raised three daughters: Larissa, Lynn, and Libby. Davis most enjoys spending his time with his five grandchildren: Ashton, Alexa, Andrew, Austin, and Adam. Congressman and Mrs. Davis live in Pall Mall on property purchased from World War I hero Sgt. Alvin C. York.  They are members of First Baptist Church in Byrdstown.
