Kim Davis Biography

Kim Davis is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 17, 1965 in Morehead, Kentucky, United States. Elected as the County Clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky in 2015, she made national headlines after refuting a a federal court order stating she must issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

She met with Pope Francis in September of 2015 during his US visit.

Davis’s actions drew strong and mixed reactions from prominent politicians, legal experts, and religious leaders. Attorney and author Roberta A. Kaplan described Davis as “the clearest example of someone who wants to use a religious liberty argument to discriminate”, while law professor Eugene Volokh maintained that an employer must try to accommodate religious employees’ beliefs. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said that Davis’s imprisonment was part of the “criminalization of Christianity”, while conservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin compared Davis’s refusal to obey the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to Alabama Governor George Wallace’s “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” in 1963. A few weeks after her release from jail, Davis met with Pope Francis in Washington, D.C. The Holy See Press Office later noted that the pope met with many others and said that the meeting was not a form of support for Davis’s actions. Davis has been satirized in popular culture; she was parodied in a Funny or Die video, as well as on Saturday Night Live.

Kim Davis was born on September 17, 1965, in Jackson, Kentucky. By 1991, she was serving as chief deputy clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, reporting to her mother, Rowan County Clerk Jean W. Bailey. Davis’s 2011 compensation was $51,812 (equivalent to $58,886 in 2019) in wages with an additional $11,301 (equivalent to $12,844 in 2019) in overtime and other compensation. She earned more than other chief deputies in the county, and some county employees and residents complained to the county’s governing body, the Fiscal Court, that the clerk’s staff’s wages were too high, with total compensation for five employees being about $198,000. The Fiscal Court then voted to cut the 2012 budget for wages from $300,000 to $200,000.

She served under her mother Jean W. Bailey while serving as chief deputy clerk. She was married to Dwain Allen Wallace from 1984 to 1994, Joe Davis from 1996 to 2004, and Thomas Dale McIntyre Jr. from 2007 to 2008. She remarried Joe Davis in 2009.

She was the chief deputy clerk of Rowan County from 1991 to 2015. She was a member of the Democratic party from 1983 to 2015, switching allegiances in 2015.

After the Supreme Court ruled she music issue marriage licenses to all couples, she began refusing to issue any licenses at all. She was jailed for contempt of court for just five days.

Davis gained international attention after her refusal to issue marriage licenses and the ensuing controversy her actions caused. Many legal experts asserted that Davis had no standing under the law to refuse to issue the licenses. Columbia Law School professor Katherine Franke said, “Kim Davis has all sorts of religious liberty rights secured under the First Amendment and under other laws, but they are not at stake in this case. All she’s asked to do with couples that come before her is certify that they’ve met the state requirements for marriage, so her religious opposition to same-sex marriage is absolutely irrelevant.” Professor Stephen Vladeck of American University’s Washington College of Law said that Davis “waived any right to have an objection to issuing same-sex marriage licenses when she ran for the job”. Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin and others compared Davis’s refusal to follow orders of the U.S. Supreme Court to Alabama Governor George Wallace’s futile “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” protest of desegregation in

1963. The Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBT civil rights group, said, “Ms. Davis has the fundamental right to believe what she likes … but as a public servant, she does not have the right to pick and choose which laws she will follow or which services she will provide.” Attorney and author Roberta A. Kaplan, who argued for the plaintiffs in United States v. Windsor, wrote that “Kim Davis is the clearest example of someone who wants to use a religious liberty argument to discriminate, yet she swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. It is laughable that she can then decide which laws to enforce, which is why every decision in her case has gone against her.”
