Kim Davis

Kimberly Jean Bailey "Kim" Davis (born September 17, 1965) is the county clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky. In 2015, Davis gained international attention after defying a federal court order requiring that she issue marriage licenses following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. In the ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the right to marriage is guaranteed to same-sex couples by the Fourteenth Amendment.
