Man denied marriage license by Kim Davis seeks to replace her

David Ermold once again stepped inside the Rowan County, Ky., courthouse on Wednesday, except this time he wasn't asking for a marriage license — he was asking for Kim Davis' job. She is the Rowan County clerk who refused Ermold and his partner, among other couples, a marriage license on the basis of her religious beliefs against same-sex marriage.

"I have an obligation here, really, to do this and to set things right," Ermold told The Associated Press about his decision to run for the position. "I don't think the other candidates are looking at a larger message."

Ermold is an assistant professor of English at the University of Pikeville and has lived in Morehead, in the county, for more than a decade. He received a clear message from Davis when she twice denied him and his now-husband marriage licenses in the summer of 2015, after the Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriage.

Davis told Ermold that it was "God's authority" that kept her from complying with the Supreme Court. She spent time in jail for defying a federal judge's order, was sued by Ermold and Moore and other couples, and rose to international prominence as a symbol of the bitter divide over same-sex marriage, even meeting with the pope in 2015.

Last month Davis announced that she would be running for re-election, seeking the judgment of voters for the first time since the controversy erupted.

The AP described the scene on Wednesday as Ermold, alongside his husband, filled out the paperwork to run for office with Davis sitting across from him:

"Davis smiled and welcomed them, chatting with them about the state retirement system and the upcoming Christmas holiday. She made sure Ermold had all of his paperwork and signatures to file for office, softly humming the old hymn 'Jesus Paid It All' as her fingers clacked across a keyboard.

"When it was over, she stood and shook hands with Ermold, telling him: 'May the best candidate win.' "

Ermold and Moore finally married in the fall of 2015.

Unfortunately, David lost his race.
