David Roth has been actively involved in politics since 2006.  He has served as a Precinct Captain, Legislative District Vice-Chair, and most recently as the Chair of the Bonneville County Democrats.  He ran for the Idaho State Legislature in 2020.  David decided to run for the U.S. Senate after discussing with others the concerns that he saw for our country if we continue with a deadlocked congress.  He believes that we need people in our government that are looking for solutions rather than looking for ways to obstruct.

He strongly believes that the notion of a “safe seat” is the enemy of democracy.  Every politician should feel that every vote and debate is a job interview for their next election. They must feel that they have to earn their seat every day.

David believes that everyday Idahoans are doing great things and that we must show the connection between the work that is being done in our communities and our relationship to elected officials.  These boots-on-the- ground community leaders are accomplishing great things in spite of our government.  Imagine what we could do working together.
