Dr. Kinsley Steensland hoped a Houston County commissioner who preferred her would appoint her to the Houston County Healthcare Authority board.
“The obvious implication of those comments, if true, means that I was excluded from consideration because I am a woman and a mother,” said Dr. Kelsey Steensland in a statement to News4. “Using those factors as consideration of whether a woman is qualified for a position is a terrible example to set for the community.”
Houston County Commissioner Ricky Herring claims that Sowell referred to Steensland as a “girl” with a “boatload of kids.” The fact is that commissioners, including Herring, must choose from nominees provided by the Authority, and Steensland was missing from the list.
