    DescriptionA Jeff Davis for Arkansas Governor political campaign button. The button is round with a cream colored background and brown lettering that reads "Compliments of The Commoner Jeff Davis for Governor." An image of Davis is in the center of the button.

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
