Mark Davis, Air Force veteran and small business owner, is running unaffiliated (No Party Affiliation / NPA) in Florida’s 16th Congressional District, which covers parts of Hillsborough and Manatee counties, including areas around Parrish and Tampa Bay.
In the 2026 general election for U.S. House, he faces incumbent Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan.
Davis has become known for his very public use of “86 47” anti-Trump messaging, the same violent messaging that led to an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
You can read that indictment here.
Davis has worn “86 47” hats in photos, driven with an “86 47” license plate, and sells hats, t-shirts, and other merch directly on his campaign website.
After Comey was indicted, Davis doubled down. He posted defiant photos of himself in the hat with the license plate and said things like “Arrest us all. I dare you.”
He called the crackdown “silly” and vowed to keep wearing/selling the merch daily through the election.
In a recent post on Instagram, Davis said, “January Sixers don’t deserve a billion dollars. They deserve a f***ing noose.”
“And if I find out that any of you January Sixers request funds from this little fucking slush fund that Trump set up, I’m gonna personally dox the living fucking shit out of you.”
“Have fun.”
