Jennifer Davis Officially Qualifies for 8th Congressional District Republican Primary Ballot
Mother of ten, bestselling author, and trailblazing tech entrepreneur Jennifer Davis has officially qualified for the Republican Primary ballot in Illinois’ 8th Congressional District after personally delivering more than 1,800 voter signatures to the Illinois State Board of Elections in Springfield.
As co-founder of global tech leader Davisware, author of Living Exponentially in Life and Business, and a true political outsider, Davis enters the race determined to bring fresh leadership, renewed energy, and common sense to Washington on behalf of Illinois families.
With Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi vacating the seat to run for U.S. Senate, this marks the first open race in the 8th District since 2016.
The overwhelming grassroots response—with more than 1,800 petition signatures collected—shows that voters are ready for a new face in politics and a bold vision for the future.
The petition signers have sent a clear mandate of change, and Davis plans to deliver on it with a victory in the 8th.
“Today is a sign that change is coming for every family, small business owner, and concerned parent who signed my petition,” said Davis.
“These signatures aren’t just names on a page—they’re a message.
“The people of the 8th District are ready for a new vision in politics—one that puts families and freedom first.
“I’m on the ballot to represent the people who work, live, and raise their families right here in Illinois—and to put the ‘United’ back in the United States.”
Rooted in her Midwestern values of hard work, faith, and perseverance, Davis has built a career turning ideas into action.
From bootstrapping Davisware into a global tech success and creating hundreds of Illinois jobs to empowering women through her BExponential initiative, she has consistently led with purpose and results.
“I’m not running to be a career politician,” Davis added.
“I’m running to win—for Illinois, and for the families and businesses that make the 8th District strong.
“Political apathy has gone on too long.
“I’m here to bring real people back into the political process and to prove that when we lead with conviction and common sense, we can change the course of our future.
“Today, we crossed the threshold.
“Tomorrow, we get to work to win and flip the 8th.”
