Jeannemarie Aragona Devolites Davis (born February 28, 1956) is an American politician. She served in the Virginia House of Delegates 1998–2004 and the Senate of Virginia 2004–2008. She was a candidate for the 2013 Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, but was eliminated in the first round of voting at the 2013 Republican convention in Richmond, Virginia. Her husband, Thomas M. Davis, was a member of the United States House of Representatives.
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell appointed Davis director of the Virginia Liaison Office in Washington, D.C. in January 2010. She resigned in September 2012 to pursue an unsuccessful bid for lieutenant governor.
Davis was born on a United States Air Force base in Swindon, England, where her father was a civilian employee. The family eventually settled in Arlington, Virginia, where she graduated from Yorktown High School in 1974. In 1978, she received a B.A. degree in mathematics from the University of Virginia.
Davis has married twice. She had four children with her first husband, John Devolites. She married Tom Davis in 2004; it was his second marriage, also.
A large percentage of her financial support is contributed from her husband, Tom Davis, and the Republican organizations he directs. Before Virginia's 2007 election cycle, his PACS had donated more than $172,000 to her campaign. In addition, she has received contributions from National Republican organizations directed by Mr. Davis including $300,000 to the Fairfax and Prince William's counties Republican Party committees at the Wayback Machine (archived February 7, 2003), who in turn donated money and office space to Mrs. Davis; $55,616 from the National Republican Congressional Committee when her husband was Chair, $5,000 from the Republican Main Street Partnership, and $5,000 from Tom DeLay's ARMPAC.
