Monterey Sheriff Candidate Scott Davis Comes Out, Wants to Be California's First Gay Sheriff
Monterey County Sheriffs Deputy Scott Davis wants to be Californias first gay sheriff. He confirmed his sexual orientation to KSBW news in a video interview on Tuesday.
Writes KSBW: On Tuesday Monterey County Sheriffs candidate Scott Davis told KSBW that he wants to become the first openly gay sheriff in California history. He is running against his boss, Sheriff Steve Bernal. In the video above, he confirms that he is gay, and explains why he is a champion of LGBTQ and immigrants rights. Davis is a first-generation American.
Davis, who is challenging Sheriff Steve Bernal in a June primary, is also under scrutiny over corruption allegations over campaign donations from a union president.
Davis said last month that the accusations against him are attempts to distract voters from Bernals own fiscal mismanagement while at the helm.: Bernal doesnt have a record he can run on so hes taking a page out of the Trump playbook, Davis stated. The real issues are the gross mismanagement of the sheriffs office funds, the continued misuse of the department plane for personal trips, the accidents hes been in off Highway 68 and the circumstances surrounding them.
