Colleen Davis


Colleen Carroll Davis is an American politician and a member of the Democratic Party serving as Delaware State Treasurer.
Davis is a resident of Dagsboro, Delaware with her husband Anthony and her three children, Liam, Desmond and Margaux. She graduated from Indian River High School in 1998 and attended Philadelphia University on a soccer scholarship. Prior to running for office, she was a financial consultant for medical systems in and around the state of Delaware.
Davis ran for state treasurer in the 2018 elections and defeated incumbent Republican Ken Simpler. Her victory was a major upset and was one of several losses for prominent Republicans in Delaware. She was sworn into office on January 1, 2019.
In November 2018, Davis was issued citations for driving on a suspended license and failure to show insurance and registration. Although she told a police officer that she has not driven on her suspended license, her claims were contracted by a photo posted on the Facebook page of Tom Carper, who had campaigned with Davis. She pled guilty to speeding on December 20, 2018, and the other charges were dropped. It was the fourth time she had been charged with driving on a suspended license, after pleaded guilty to the charge when she was 17 and pleading guilty to lesser charges when she was an adult.
