Davalu Cummings and her husband bought land in Kootenai County in 2009 and began building their house in 2015 after fleeing the liberal government overreach in New Mexico. Davalu is a Texas native and a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington. Her career in law enforcement spanned 30 years, the last 15 years spent investigating sex crimes against children and sex trafficking. From 2007 through 2015, she supervised the multi-agency Sexual Predator Exploitation and Enforcement Detail (SPEED) in New Mexico. After retiring in 2015, she moved to the area and worked as a civil tort litigation investigator/analyst for 6 ½ years. In her employment over the years, she was prohibited from actively engaging in politics. After losing her job due to the recent shot mandates, Davalu’s pent up patriotic passion was finally able to burst out. She has a deep faith in Jesus and a profound sense of patriotism, believing that truth is absolute, not a moving target. She is a lifelong conservative Republican and a pro-life Christian who deeply values integrity and the Constitution. According to Davalu, “We are at a pivotal point in our nation and it’s time for each of us to make a choice. If we want to preserve the way of life that God and our founders forged for us, we must heed the call to action. For me, that choice is not a difficult one and I want to do whatever I can to return our local, state and federal government to its conservative Constitutional roots. Carla has built this amazing Republican women’s group into a true conservative force that is actively involved in reweaving conservative values into the fabric of Idaho politics. I want to continue that momentum and join my skills and passion with the members of this club to increase our influence and preserve our conservative Constitutional values for future generations.” Davalu has extensive leadership and organizational experience gained throughout her law enforcement career and is a graduate of the Women’s Executive Leadership Program. She is the founder and president of Stand True Idaho, a nonprofit supporting Idaho law enforcement, the organizer of Warrior Boots, a Bible study encouraging Christian involvement in politics, and has facilitated the review of Post Falls school curriculum. She is actively involved in the community, including being a member of the KCRWF, a member of Heart of the City church, a delegate to the 2022 Idaho GOP convention, a volunteer at the Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store and a member of the Benevolent Order of Elks.
