Davis, 32, holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Kansas State University and a juris doctorate from the University of Missouri School of Law.
Davis’ appointment is subject to Senate confirmation.
Yesterday Blunt also nominated Rod Chapel, the current director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations whom Davis will replace, to a six-year term on the Missouri Administrative Hearing Commission.

These Conservatives one under the thumb of the Blunts and the likes are pieces of work, it is close to election time.
These people fail to see that Blacks are not stupid, and that now they are truly pissing off their only strong base now, die hard redneck bigots.
I guess they are desperate since Evangelicals have washed their hands of him.
