What the campaign said
His campaign's national security page, as summarized and quoted by Ballotpedia, opened with the line "There is absolutely nothing more important than defending America's freedom and our way of life." It called for giving the military the resources it needs, pairing security with immigration reform, and protecting U.S. elections from foreign interference.
The campaign site's archived addresses show a July 2018 release joining bipartisan criticism of President Trump's Helsinki meeting with Vladimir Putin, and a link to Topeka Capital-Journal coverage of the Kansas congressional delegation calling Russia an election-meddling adversary. The release text is not reproduced here.
Context
The 2nd District includes Fort Leavenworth, and both nominees made the military part of their pitch. Watkins, a West Point graduate and Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, put his service at the center of his campaign and contrasted it with Davis's career in politics. Davis's campaign met with what it called a military advisory group in Leavenworth in June 2018, according to a headline in its archived addresses.
We found no recorded votes or detailed policy statements from Davis on defense spending, alliances or specific conflicts. As a state legislator he had no vote on federal defense matters.
