Press Releases
I am deeply dismayed and concerned by the decision of the grand jury not to indict Ferguson, Missouri Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown. Based on my interaction with constituents I expect that many thousands of others share that response and will express their concerns in peaceful public protests.
The cease fire between the Israeli and Palestinian forces seems to be holding . . . for the time being. That is a very good thing, but it is clear that the cease fire itself is not a blue print for a sustainable peace. If there is to be a sustainable peace, and there must be one, then the process must move forward, in the first place by the parties themselves. The more time passes the more likely that hostilities will reemerge.

Statement in Support of Debo Adegbile to lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division
It is my strong conviction that Mr. Adegbile has the qualities to lead the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. Mr. Adegbile has demonstrated himself an effective advocate for civil rights and a tireless voice for equality. I unequivocally support Mr. Adegbile's candidacy and I urge the Senate to confirm him.
Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-IL07) released the following statement today:

My office has been receiving a higher than usual volume of complaints relative to mail delivery, especially during the last month or so. In an effort to make all of us aware of what the postal service is doing to try and meet the challenges they are experiencing I have asked them to meet with all of the elected officials in the area to discuss the issues. The meeting is being planned for Monday, February 10, 2014 p.m. at the Oak Park Public Library, 834 Lake Street, Oak Park. The public is invited to attend.
