In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Davis brings over a decade of experience in Baltimore City government, where he previously served as Deputy Chief of Staff in the Mayor’s Office. His most recent role was as Vice President and Chief of Staff for CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, a prominent not-for-profit health care organization. In this capacity, he was instrumental in shaping organizational strategy, advancing key initiatives, and fostering alignment across various projects to support the company’s mission. Davis’s background includes significant contributions to public service and community engagement. He has been involved with transition teams for Governor Wes Moore, Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott, and Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen. Furthermore, he has held appointments to the Baltimore Regional Water Governance Task Force, the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO), the Baltimore Regional Transit Commission, and the Baltimore Convention & Tourism Board, demonstrating a broad commitment to the state’s economic and infrastructural development. Davis holds an undergraduate degree from Norfolk State University.
