Husband, father, and third-generation row-crop farmer from Waterproof, Louisiana — running for the United States Senate because Washington keeps writing laws as if Louisiana isn't there.
Jamie has watched the same story play out across the Delta his whole life: young people leaving for jobs that never came home, hospitals shutting their maternity wings, insurance bills that read like ransom notes after every storm. He's running because the people he grew up with — farmers, nurses, teachers, line workers — deserve a senator who knows their names.
"I'm not a career politician. I'm a farmer who pays the same insurance bill you do, drives past the same closed hospital, and watches the same kids leave town. I'd just like a senator who's noticed."— Jamie
From Sharecropper To Senator
Jamie was born in Houston before his parents brought him home to the Louisiana Delta as a young child. He went to public schools in Waterproof, played football at Waterproof High, and headed to Louisiana State University to study Electrical Engineering before coming home to work alongside his father at Davis Farms.
Together, Jamie and his father grew Davis Farms to more than 3,200 acres — including the same ground his grandfather worked as a sharecropper. Today, Jamie owns and operates the farm, growing sorghum, corn, soy, and cotton on land that took three generations to call their own.
Public Service In Tensas Parish
In 2015, Jamie ran for Police Juror in District 7 of Tensas Parish — and unseated the longest-serving Police Juror in the state of Louisiana. He served as Vice President of the Jury for all four years of his term, working on roads, drainage, public safety, and the unglamorous, day-to-day work of keeping a rural parish running.
He's never been a career politician. He's a small-business owner, a farmer, a father, and a guy who knows what a tractor tire costs in 2026 versus 2019.
Why The Senate, Why Now
In July 2025, both of Louisiana's senators voted yes on the largest Medicaid cut in American history — a vote that put 32 of our rural hospitals on a closure watch list in a state where one in three people is on Medicaid. They voted yes on $4 trillion in new debt to fund tax breaks for the people already at the top. They've said nothing useful about an insurance market that's pushed average homeowner premiums to $7,304 a year.
Louisiana deserves better. Jamie's running to deliver it — by raising wages, lowering costs, defending our hospitals, fixing the insurance market, and standing up for the working land and working people who built this state.
