Davis announces candidacy for state representative Davis WEST LIBERTY – Republican and former Donald Trump administration presidential appointee Nick Davis announced on May 24 his candidacy for state representative. Davis is the first declared candidate for the Republican nomination for the seat opening up due to term limits, which is currently held by Rep. Nino Vitale. The primary election is slated for May 3, 2022. The 85th House District currently includes all of Champaign County, most of Logan County and the eastern portion of Shelby County. District lines are expected to change in 2022 due to redistricting. “I am very excited to hopefully earn the opportunity to represent the people of this special part of Ohio,” Davis said. “Having grown up here in west-central Ohio and served President Trump, I understand the values, but also the challenges, of this area. Our community is centered around faith, family and friendship. We fight for what’s right, and we take care of each other.”
