Davis’ mother, Jeanne Bailey, served over 37 years as Rowan County clerk before she decided to retire last year. … When Davis’ mother decided that she was going to retire after a 37-year clerking career, Davis ran for her mother’s position as a Democrat.

Although many commentators have been quick to label Davis as a Christian hypocrite because of her multiple marriages, she was not a Christian at that time. It wasn’t until four-and-a-half years ago that Davis gave her life over to Christ. Davis explained in a statement that when her mother-in-law passed away, she had just one dying wish for Davis — to attend a church service. Upon her passing, Davis obliged.

“Following the death of my godly mother-in-law over four years ago, I went to church to fulfill her dying wish,” Davis stated. “There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ.” “I am not perfect,” Davis continued. “No one is. But I am forgiven and I love my Lord and must be obedient to Him and to the Word of God.”
