Kim Davis Says She 'Did Not Treat Anybody Unfairly' By Denying Same-Sex Marriage Licenses

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Jailed in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses after gay weddings became legal, a Kentucky clerk running for re-election told voters on Tuesday she did not treat anyone unfairly ... “I did not treat anybody unfairly. I treated everybody equally because I quit issuing marriage licenses altogether,” Republican Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis said during a candidate forum in Morehead, Kentucky.

During Tuesday night’s forum, Davis appeared to still not accept that ruling. “I have had many people ask me, ‘Why didn’t you do your job? Why didn’t you do your job? Why didn’t you just quit?’ Well if you will read our Kentucky state statutes, they still say that marriage is between one man and one woman. That’s what we voted in,” Davis said.

Davis is running as a Republican in the Nov. 6th election, seeking a second four-year term to a job that pays her about $80,000 a year. She faces Elwood Caudill Jr., who has worked for the county ... for 21 years.

Caudill said Tuesday if elected he would treat everyone equally because he took an oath to “uphold the law of the land.”
