Chris Davis is a community volunteer, former congressional staffer, and a candidate for Birmingham City Council District 5 in the 2017 Birmingham municipal election.

Davis is the son of educator and former State Representative Pat Davis. He graduated from Huffman High School and earned a degree at UAB. He worked as a staffer for U. S. Representative Elijah Cummings in 2007, on Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008, and later in community relations for Washington D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty.

Davis was a candidate for Alabama House District 59 in the 2014 Democratic primary, but finished third behind incumbent Mary Moore and challenger William Barnes. He also finished third in the Birmingham City Council District 2 race, behind Darrell O'Quinn and Johnathan Austin, in the 2017 Birmingham municipal election. He challenged Moore again without success in the 2018 primary.

As a City Council candidate, Davis has pledged to improve services to District 5.
