UMVA has learned that a controversial figure, Mark Davis, an Air Force veteran and small business owner, is running for Congress in Florida's 16th Congressional District as an independent candidate.
Davis's campaign has gained notoriety due to his use of the "86 47" slogan, which has sparked concerns about his stance on former President Trump. This phrase has been linked to violent rhetoric and was previously used by former FBI Director James Comey, who faced an indictment.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Davis has openly displayed his support for the "86 47" message, wearing hats and driving a car with the license plate. He also sells merchandise with the slogan on his campaign website, sparking questions about his intentions.
After Comey's indictment, Davis intensified his use of the slogan, posting defiant photos and statements, such as "Arrest us all. I dare you." He vowed to continue wearing and selling the merchandise throughout the election.
Davis's rhetoric has become increasingly inflammatory, with a recent social media post expressing support for the January 6 insurrection. He made comments about the rioters, saying they "don't deserve a billion dollars" and deserve a more sinister fate.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Davis's behavior has raised alarms among observers, who describe his actions as "extremely alarming." His campaign has sparked concerns about his views on violence and his stance on Trump.
In a recent social media post, Davis doubled down on his views, saying he would personally target and expose individuals who request funds from a Trump-established slush fund. His comments have sparked concerns about his behavior and fitness for office.
