Kim Davis made headlines two years ago for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples as the county clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky. David Ermold and his now-husband were denied one of those licenses. Now David is running against Kim Davis to be the next Rowan County Clerk.
Ermold says that he first began to consider running for the position when Mike Huckabee used the pain his community was feeling as a launching point for his presidential campaign in 2016. He says that it's time for a change in Rowan County, because Kim Davis and her family have held the position for 35 years.
Ermold also discusses the viral photo of him signing up for the race in front of Davis herself. He says he was surprised to see her, because normally her son handles that procedure.
