Summary
$40,330 in 2023 taxpayer-funded district office costs put Rep. Don Davis under scrutiny, including $27,300 in habitation expenses and $13,030 for office supplies and furniture.
Congressional records ranked Davis second in habitation expenses among all 435 House members, with only Rep. Bobby Scott appearing to spend more in that category.
Davis said he had to build a new office from scratch and later expand it after redistricting, while the DCCC said the spending fit his duties and reflected strong constituent service.
Republican groups cast the expenses as part of a broader spending pattern, citing $2,300 in Uber costs, while past reports also highlighted $4,500 in per diems and nearly $10,000 for a 2024 border trip.
The issue lands as Davis heads into a November general election against Republican Laurie Buckhout, giving rivals a fresh line of attack in a competitive North Carolina district.
