Career
Davidson has championed efforts to reform U.S. signals intelligence authorities, co-sponsoring the Safeguarding Americans' Private Records Act (SAPRA) in 2020 and working with Representative Zoe Lofgren on amendments to restrict warrantless surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He founded the Sound Money Caucus in 2020 to focus on financial stability and dollar strength. Davidson has been active on spending restraint, voting against numerous spending bills and disaster relief measures on fiscal grounds. He objected to the 2020 election certification on January 7, 2021, and has faced ethics complaints and backlash for various statements, including comparisons of vaccine requirements to the Holocaust and statements about abortion policy.
