Hello, I'm Jerone Davison, a God-fearing, Mississippi-raised former NFL player, now venturing into the political realm as a U.S. Congress candidate for District 4. My roots lie in hard work, shaped by a truck-driving father and a prayerful mother who imparted the values of grit and grace. My life's journey includes triumphs like winning state championships in high school sports and earning MVP titles in both football and basketball.

My athletic journey took me from Arizona State to the NFL and NFL Europe, ultimately landing me in the esteemed Solano Community College Hall of Fame. Among my honors, receiving the Key to the City of Picayune, MS (hometown), from Mayor Woody Spiers holds a special place in my heart. Despite these achievements, my most rewarding role is serving as a pastor and community leader.

Wearing many hats as a father of 5, grandfather of 3, and church founder, my days are devoted to guiding my congregation, counseling individuals, performing weddings, and mentoring youth. Beyond my community service, I'm an author, focusing on faith and leadership.

Now, I'm eager to extend my service on a broader scale, standing for truth, free speech, traditional values, America-first policies, and fair elections. Committed to addressing issues like the rising cost of living, securing borders, and advocating for equal rights, I am a man of action, vision, and unwavering faith. Join my team at TeamDavison@jeronedavison.com and become part of this transformative journey.

I strive to follow the path of kindness, empathy, and faith that both my parents and the teachings of Jesus have illuminated for me.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The September 11th attacks, also known as 9/11, resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. The economic impact was substantial, with estimated damages reaching several hundred billion dollars. The attacks had far-reaching consequences, not only in terms of immediate loss but also in shaping subsequent geopolitical events and policy decisions.I was 31 years old.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

At 13, I dove into the working world with my own little business – a combo of lawn care and farm work. Picture this: cutting grass, picking watermelons, baling hay, and even slopping hogs. Juggling all those tasks was a hands-on, down-to-earth experience that taught me the ropes of hard work. Looking back, those early days were some good times!

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible holds a special place in my heart. For my 15th birthday, my mother gifted me a personalized copy with my name engraved on it. Since then, it has remained my favorite among the thousands in my collection..

Davison’s campaign website stated the following:

Issues

Internet Bill of Rights

Many of us are struggling with one of the most insidious issues of our time - internet censorship. Millions of people from across the ideological spectrum have been purged from the public square on the flimsiest of pretexts.

We cannot allow the Big Tech Corporations to silence our voices and shut off our access to the market any longer. We need to level the playing field.

Education

Our children are our future. Educating our children is one of the most critical roles of the government. Here are some ways we can fix our schools.

We are failing our children. We are dooming millions of children to a lifetime of poverty when we let our schools fail so badly.

Election Integrity

Concerns about the 2020 election were not pulled out of thin air. They were predicated on shady things we saw Democrats doing in the years prior.

Many politicians & pundits like to say there was "no widespread election fraud". But all it takes is (6) counties in (6) swing states to rig the entire national election.

My name is Jerone Davison I am a former Arizona State SunDevil Running Back and former NFL Fullback Oakland Raiders and the San Fransisco 49ers. I am currently a pastor and itinerant preacher and Author. I am running for U.S Congress in District 9 (Tempe, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Chandler, and Scottsdale). I will secure the border by voting to complete the wall which drastically slows the flow of deadly drugs, human trafficking, and crime from entering our State. I will support Equal Rights by voting against special privileges for race, sex, and or ethnicity because we all have equal rights under the Constitution. I will help to induce a strong economy that brings jobs to Arizona by voting against the tyranny of mandates and illegal immigrates who take lower pay and jobs from Arizonans. I will vote to protect and secure our elections by supporting paper ballots, forensic audits, recounts, and tougher penalties for voter fraud. I will stand with God and humanity and vote for life in the womb at conception. info@jeroneforcongress.com

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

BORDER SECURITY - Jerone will secure the border by voting to complete the wall because walls work.ECONOMY/JOBS - Jerone will help to induce a strong economy that brings jobs to Arizona by voting against the tyranny of mandates, support the entrepreneur and small business with lower tax opportunities and incentives for employing the unemployed.ELECTION INTEGRITY - Jerone will vote to protect and secure our elections by supporting paper ballots, forensic audits, recounts, and tougher penalties for voter fraud.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

It's time for the GOP to get off defense and go on the offensive and score for the American people by completing the wall, reforming immigration once and for all which is why we need BOLD, STRONG, INTEGRIOUS leaders like Jerone Davison who will take the fight to every Anti-American politician and policy. I stand in full support of refunding our Police Departments nationwide. I back the Blue. I want to make sure that our Police are fully funded, supported, and recognized for their sacrificial service to our great state. I pray often Psalm 91 for their protection as they serve and protect the lives of Arizonans. I believe that medical mandates are unconstitutional as Americans' medical decisions should be between them, their families, and their Doctor. We should respect individuals' rights to medical privacy. I wholeheartedly support parents' right to know and to select what is being taught to their children. I believe that Critical Race Theory is dangerous, hateful, false, and should be banned. As a pastor and itinerant speaker, I share the threefold Biblical message of Faith in God, Fellowship of Family love, and Freedom from spiritual and governmental tyranny. God has blessed America we must endeavor to keep it that way by acknowledging him Proverbs 3:6. I

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Both my parent's examples and teaching has shaped me into to man who became a one in million men to make it to the NFL. My father who was a hard-working truck driver whose hard work and determination saved up and started his own trucking company and provided for us. And my mother taught me the importance of faith, prayer, and attending church which led to me becoming a pastor, NFL Chaplin, Pastor, Author, and Conference host.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I became a born-again believer at the age of 17. Amazingly that was the same age David was when was anointed by Samual and the same age as Joseph when he had his life-changing dream.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Harvesting watermelons in my home state of Mississippi and worked that for two summers until my middle school P.E Teacher discovered I was an athlete, so from watermelon picker to the NFL.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

U.S. House Representatives only represent the people in their District while Senators Represent the whole state.

House Reps initiate laws, budgets, and impeachment of elected officials while the Senate approves or rejects them.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe community experience could be more beneficial for both the represented and the represented. By being in the community among the people the representatives know more intimately the needs and will of the people that they are elected to represent.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

1. China and American politicians who sell out to them.

2. National Debut/wasteful spending

3. Democrat Policies (Expanding Government, Excessive Spending, Open Borders, Politizing the Courts/Law, Defunding Police, No Bail, Mandated Immunization)

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Yes

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Elections have consequences. As a voter, I have never voted for someone because they promised to compromise but instead, I voted for people who promised they would support certain issues and against others, make a promise, and keep a promise.
