Davis was elected during a congressional GOP caucus to serve Mitt Romney as an alternate delegate at the RNC 2012 convention. Also traveling to Florida for the RNC are Foxborough's State Rep. Jay Barrows and State Rep. Betty Poirier.

"We are from the Governor's home state, this will be an exciting historic time for us all," said Davis. "I first met Governor Romney in 1994 before he was an elected official, he was a caring and an effective job creator and entrepreneur, positively effecting the bottom lines in business back then."

Davis is on the Executive Committee of the Massachusetts Republicans serving as the Bristol/Norfolk State committeewoman. She also serves as first Vice President of the Massachusetts Federation of Republican Women and Chair of U.S. Senator Scott Brown's Women's Coalition.

"I am meeting with candidates and voters all over the state, including Independents, Democrats and Republicans," Davis said. "Regardless of party affiliation, they too all believe we are headed down the wrong path and are terrified of what another fours years of an Obama Administration will bring. President Obama knows this and that is why they are panicked and have thrown themselves into a campaign based on rage, anger and deception.  It really is time to switch gears."
