Rodney Davis is head of government affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The former congressman leads the chamber’s engagement on Capitol Hill and with the administration, helping defend against the growing threats to the American free enterprise system and working to advance pro-growth policies.

As a five-term Republican U.S. Representative for Illinois’ 13th district, ranking member of the committee on House Administration, and a deputy whip, Davis was considered one of the most effective legislators during his tenure, willing to work across the aisle to advance common-sense policy solutions.

Prior to being elected to the U.S. House in 2012, Davis served as projects director for Congressman John Shimkus for 16 years, helping Illinois residents and communities cut through government red tape and support local economic development. He joined the chamber in August 2024.
