WASHINGTON (AP) — The mystery over who invited Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who spent five days in jail for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, to the State of the Union address was solved Tuesday evening.

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, says his “staff heard from the Family Research Council that Ms. Davis and her family hoped to attend the State of the Union address and so I offered a ticket.”

Every lawmaker gets one guest ticket to the president’s annual speech, though congressional leaders get extras.

First lady Michelle Obama invited Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the case in which the Supreme Court effectively legalized gay marriage across the nation.

After the Supreme Court’s decision, Davis, the clerk of Rowan County, cited “God’s authority” and refused to issue marriage licenses, despite a series of federal court orders. She quickly became a darling of the religious right. Politicians, including presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee, flocked to a rally on the jailhouse lawn during her brief stint behind bars.

The Huffington Post reported that Jordan did not know until Tuesday, hours after Davis’ announcement, that his own staffers had provided her with a ticket.

Jordan later said the Family Research Council, a conservative lobbying organization, asked his staff to extend a ticket to Davis.

It remains uncertain who provided Staver’s ticket. Every lawmaker gets one guest ticket to President Barack Obama’s annual speech.

Staver, founder of the law firm Liberty Counsel that advocates against gay rights, said he and Davis would be seated in the House chamber “to stand for religious freedom and to represent Judeo-Christian values.”

“I think when it became more clear that President Obama was going to tick off his so-called accomplishments in the last seven years, the decision was made to invite Kim Davis to be a visible reminder that his policies have not encompassed all of American citizens and, particularly, Kim Davis with respect to religious freedom and marriage,” Staver told The Associated Press.

He added that “she’s there as a visible reminder of that, his policies have actually hurt religious freedom and marriage and to encourage people to stand for these values.”
