Bob Davis

Bob Davis is a retired Los Angeles Police Department lieutenant running for Colorado House District 44, which covers Parker in Douglas County. He served 31 years with the LAPD, spending roughly 17 of those years at the rank of lieutenant and 14 in patrol operations, and describes himself as possibly the longest-serving watch commander in more than 50 years.

Davis left California for Colorado after watching what he calls the decline of his home state under policies he believes are now taking root along the Front Range. He decided to run for the state House to push back, telling listeners he wanted to do more than cast a single vote as one voter.

On policy, Davis centers his campaign on affordability. He favors capping property taxes in a manner modeled on California’s Proposition 13, and he stresses that every dollar government spends, at any level, is ultimately a tax on the public through higher fees and costs. He is candid that with Democrats one seat shy of a supermajority in each chamber, his ability to advance legislation would be limited, and he points to bills that pass unanimously as evidence that common ground is still possible.

Davis also highlights the November 2026 ballot initiatives from Protect Kids Colorado, which he calls more important than his own race, framing them as a chance for the state to push back on policies he says harm children. He encourages voters to check their registration and ballot status through his campaign site.
