On Thursday, state Veterans Affairs Commissioner Kent Davis got a boost of encouragement to stay in the seat that the governor's office urged him to resign from.

Will embattled Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Kent Davis rescind his resignation? The State Board of Veterans Affairs is urging him to do just that. Kent Davis would step down from his position, effective Dec. 31. On Thursday, however, Davis got a boost of encouragement to stay in the seat.That meeting was ultimately canceled the day before it was set to convene when, on Sept. 9, the governor’s office confirmed Davis would resign.

The spokesperson said the SBVA voted unanimously Thursday morning to ask that Commissioner Davis strongly reconsider his resignation. “Commissioner Davis remains focused in the department’s mission and day-to-day operations in its services to Alabama’s 400,000 Veterans,” the SBVA said. It’s not yet clear if Davis will accept the board’s recommendation. Ivey’s office has not yet responded to request for comment.
