Davis responded with a comment Wednesday. “I decline to interpret my fellow candidate’s motives and hope she will afford me the same courtesy,” she said.But she did repeat her own stance on athletics, noting she speaks for herself and not the state board. She notes: “Top female athletes and famous transgender athlete Caitlyn Jenner have said that steps must be taken to protect fairness and competition in women’s sports that could be jeopardized by transgender participation. I agree.

That’s the case withKara Edwards, a mother who leads the group, attended the town hall Monday to hear DelGrosso’s platform. She said she walked away disappointed.
