APNewsBreak: Anti-gay-marriage clerk to seek re-election
From MSN news :
FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples will run for re-election in 2018.An attorney for Kim Davis confirmed she will seek a second term. It's the first chance Rowan County voters will get to have a say in the controversy that dominated national news in 2015.
Davis stopped issuing marriage licenses following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Five couples sued her, and a judge ordered her to issue the licenses. Davis refused and spent five days in jail. The state legislature later changed the law so county clerks did not have to sign their name on marriage licenses.
Davis switched parties to become a Republican shortly after the controversy erupted.

If Ms. Davis gets re-elected, that will speak (ill) volumes about the Rowan County voters, and possibly the rest of Kentucky by extension.
hopefully they have learned their lesson and will not re-elect her - for some reason the conservative minded applauded her for not doing her job and living off the government paychecks (which is something i thought they were against ?)
