He can't. Because the recall question and the potential replacement will be on the same ballot, Davis is not permitted to both fight recall and run for office. That's what one of the lost appeals was about.
I was curious about this, as well, and it took a lot of digging to find this one artical which addressed this question, so if anyone has a more definitive source, I wouldn't mind reading it.
