Timothy Davlin

Timothy J. Davlin has been the mayor of the U.S. city of Springfield, Illinois since April 2003. Though the office is officially non-partisan, the Illinois capital has a strong tradition of partisanship, even for municipal races, and both major parties of Sangamon County endorse candidates. Davlin has the backing of the Democrat Party.

He has provided financial products and services to individuals and businesses.
