In reply to the discussion: 200 supporters gather at jail for Kentucky clerk held in same-sex marriage dispute [View all]bulloney
(4,113 posts)38. Davis is the classic Republican government officeholder.
She succeeded her mother and had it all planned to groom her son to get voted in to succeed her when she retires.
We have several government office positions like that around where I live. And they're mostly Republicans. You know, the party that despises government. And none of them could find an $80,000/year job in the private sector. I doubt that they could find a job that pays a third of that amount in the private sector. They get voted in their government job because of their family connections.
