Rep. Sharice Davids was in 2018 one of the first two Native American women to be elected to the U.S. House of Representative.

From coronavirus relief to working to protect Native American women, Davids touts her bipartisan accomplishments.

As of last week, the Cook Political Report lists the 3rd District congressional race in Kansas as "likely Democratic." While that's promising for Sharice Davids' reelection prospects, the coronavirus pandemic is forcing her campaign to get creative about how she connects with voters.
