A Proud Father, Community Neighbor
Tom has proudly called Beaufort County home since 1985. As a father of three daughters—Elizabeth “Libby” Davis Cohen (31), Grace Catherine Davis (24), and Claire Christian Davis (21)—he understands how deeply public policy affects real families.
Though grown, Tom remains an active and supportive presence in his daughters’ lives, and his dedication to their future inspires his commitment to building a better Lowcountry and a better South Carolina for all families.
